Description
I took this photo but then had a hard time trying to remember what type of primate this was. I thought it might have been an orangutan because of the orange colouring but the face was different. Plus, it has a smaller frame. I finally figured out that this monkey is actually what is called Gibbon or a Lesser Ape. Apparently, they pair bond which is different than the Greater Ape. Plus, I learned that their primary form of locomotion is called �brachiation� where they can swing from branch to branch for distances of up to 15 meters or 50 feet with speeds as high as 55 kmh or 34 mph.
