Gibbons are small, agile primates found in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. They belong to the family Hylobatidae and are known for their long arms and ability to swing through trees, a movement called brachiation. Gibbons are social animals, often living in family groups and communicating with loud calls. There are several species of gibbons, including the lar gibbon and the white-handed gibbon. They primarily eat fruits, leaves, and flowers. Gibbons are considered endangered due to habitat loss and hunting, making conservation efforts important for their survival in the wild.
