Gibbons Are the Unique Acrobats of the Rainforest

Gibbons are unique animals, primates of the rainforest of South Asia, from India to China to Borneo, Indonesia. Classified in the ape family, gibbons live in the trees of the rainforest and even sleep there. Gibbons are known for their acrobatic mobility as their long arms, long fingers, strong hand grip, flexible bodies and strong legs allow them move across the rainforest treetops. Gibbons swing on tree branches at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour and can move up to 50 feet in a single swing. These natural abilities were given during its design and creation by a Powerful Creator.

The gibbon has a unique anatomy feature in that its "ball and socket" wrist joints can rotate 360 degrees, which allow for its acrobatic ability and allows the gibbon to move very fast among the tree branches. In addition to their hands that have a strong grip, their feet are shaped like hands to give the gibbon greater grasping ability in the trees. The gibbon's body was designed to live in the trees and was not a product of evolution. God designed the gibbon to live in the trees and gave it the ability to do so.

Living in the trees allows the gibbon to eat fruit, leaves, plants, and insects. The gibbon rarely goes to the ground but it is able to walk on two feet. However, the numerous predators on the ground cause the gibbon to stay in the trees as much as possible.

One other unique trait of gibbons is that they are monogamous, which is rare among primates. Their families stay together, couples and children and establish a territory.
