Gibbons

             Gibbons are the acrobats of the southern and southeastern Asia.They may be smaller then their relatives, and they may not have a tail but, they still are as amazing as there cousins. These wonders live in the tops of the tropical rain forests of southern and southeaster Asia. Gibbons are smaller then their relatives. Only 3 feet tall is the size of a mature mail gibbon.And its weight is only 15 pounds. This is very small compared to their cousins.
             Gibbons where made for a life in the tops of a rain forest. A Gibbons arm is twice the length of its body, and a Gibbon has long fingers and a smaller thumb witch enables this creature to get a good grip on a branch because the thumb will be out of the way of the other fingers. A Gibbon use's their fingers almost like hooks on the branches.The bones of a Gibbon are very light weight.
              Gibbons eat fruit, flowers, leaves, insects, bird eggs, and young birds.Gibbons live in groups that consist of 2 to 4 offspring, and a mail and a female. A Gibbons usually only have one mate throughout their course of life. A mother gives birth to one and one only child at a time. The new born clings to the hair of the belly of the mother while she looks for food and travels through the rain forest. The young separate from there family's when they are ready to mate. Every morning the Gibbons sing to warn other family's that this is there territory. If a other Gibbon family comes close they will hoot in challenge.
