How Fast Can Gibbons Swing Through the Forest?

- Gibbons are incredible tree swingers, thanks to their long forearms, mobile joints and wrists that enhance fluid movement.

They're monogamous and at the same time, great swingers.
Yep, bit of a contradiction hahaha.
Lol, that's witty!
@@BeckVMH but in a good way.

Eyyyyyy

I like it :) .

I’m on a gibbon UA-cam binge lol
Did you see the two gibbons with the baby hedge hog.😍
@@deavenshk2551 lol yes!!!! It’s great!!
@@deavenshk2551 meanwhile me crying over kalia
gibbons or macaques
@@jpeg.600x2 have you seen how black macaques exist, they melt my heart
watching gibbons navigate trees is truly one of the wonders of nature....
it would be so fun to hunt these things. Pow! right in mid air lol
@@billyb4790 no
@@kuttenburg it’s our right to hunt them as he superior species. They failed to evolve and must pay the price.
@@billyb4790 no
@@billyb4790you're going to pay the price in the next life
“Gibbons can reach speeds of up to 35 miles per hour. Clumsy ones, such as Carl here, can quickly and easily reach terminal velocity.”
Garrett Kniffen hahaha what a smart and funny comment.
HAAHAH LOL
Holy banan😮
tripe
bruh was going crazy in the last clip
BЯAY 😂😂😂
Wow mango
He was rocking it
Me: :(
UA-cam: Gibbons
Me: :)
M O N K E :)
Such a fun and stress free life. I hope I'm a gibbon next life.
Gibson👍
all you have to do is not get eaten by snakes, leopards or tigers
@@kushal4956 Doesn't really matter. You're dead no matter what. It's just a question of how soon.
@@kushal4956 Pretty easy to aviod the leopards and tigers
@@vehicleboi5598 yeah snakes not so much you grab the wrong vine and find out its actually a danger noodle with good camo lol
Watching them tree surf really gets me pumped it's like watching the olympics or something.
For a gibbon, the occasional fall is a part of life; the important thing is to catch another branch and keep on swinging.
That last Gibbon was insane, look at the speed he is clearing. He's like a parkour master. Awesome creatures.
They’re beautiful animals.
Far better than a parkour master.
ninja warrior
Their arms are like strings connected to a a pendulum. Fantastic to see them move.
i want a forest school for gibbons i ran out of the orangutan one
Great leap at 02:18
In a parallel universe what if Gibbons were to live in a forest full of Giant Sequoias?
Gliding Gibbons and then Flying Gibbons?
Avatar.. Furry Avatar.
😅
Give them a few dozen million year and they might actually do so!
Bet the most satisfying thing about being a gibbon is just freely, effortlessly, and super efficiently just swinging from branch to branch. looks so fun, wow.
They love to scare the kids with their sound you know. They used to sunbathe during the winter in our backyard. They travel a lot, roam around.
Great video! I really learned much I didn’t know about the Gibbon. I will watch this video a few times.
He's so cool 0:01 dah tree swinging king
2:41 ohh #$@%
Ahhh Semar! You can do it buddy! 😂
Wow! Well done! Thanks for posting.
Nature's original freerunners.

the fastest in space are aliens duh
i went to a gibbon sanctuary place recently and it was pretty cool like some of them were swinging around and some them were just eating food looking at us, some times they would just start singing when they saw food cause they were excited and the first time they started singing it lasted for like three minutes it was pretty cool and loud.
Good words of advice, "If you fall, catch another branch and keep on swinging"
👍😎👍
so beautiful nature 🌺🌺
They've always had those arms. God bless
Such cute and peaceful families.
I think they are one of the best swingers in nature)
Do you have any video of their 30’ swings?
the jump at 2:16 is insane
I like how effortless they make swinging look! They jump down 30+ feet and keep going like nothing O.o
this is so cool!
Me who does parkour: “Finally! A worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!
Nice video! I hope some experts can answer my question. I know Gibbons are all over SE Asia and they must have encountered leopards. My concern is the Gibbons are able to outpace leopards on trees? We know leopards can catch monkeys.
I wonder how many bird's nest's they've destroyed along their travels, such gorgeous creatures. I dub thee my spirit animal 😍
I knew they were good but that's just plain awesome!
They move through trees far faster than even the fastest humans can sprint on the ground
So smooth
Very cool!!!
awesome...just like in Indonesia...
These are my favorite primate. (Man is down the list.) They are not only amazing athletes, they are sweet and gentle.
Absolutely love gibbons
Wowwww what beautiful creatures have Hod created 💋💋🇵🇰🇵🇰🌹
How yall release the info about th giant skeletons that were covered up?
Very bloody fast. They are soo fluid.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
I hope some super smart aliens are watching recordings of me walking around my house and working out with half this level of supportiveness and approval. Commenting “I love humans” even when it’s me struggling to cook pasta
Imagine trying to cling on throughout your entire childhood
If they're anything like Orangutans, their hands' resting position will be gripped rather than open like ours and the other great apes'
Flexible joints and strong arms I understand, but I'm most impressed by how they don't get splinters
That Gibbon is a fantastic brakiator
Must have just completed a slam dunk the way he's hanging there. Is that a tree or a rim
Effortless economy of movement. Truly the best movers in the treetops.
That last clip was nutttttty
2:18
Hi, I’m seeking permission to use a 7 second clip of your video for educational purposes as part of a presentation about tree climbing techniques for Arborists. How do I go about getting the permission? Thanks
As Leonard Nimoy would say, "fascinating!"
oh how i love gibbons
Wow 35 mph it's crazy
Do they ever use their feet to walk?
I don’t understand why they don’t have prehensile tails? It would really help them
I've been wondering just the same thing! I guess it's partly because they are a different species from 'new world monkeys'.
@@julieprior3126 they're apes, apes don't have tails.
I wonder if they ever fall to the ground? Amazing animal.
Wildlife Videography I hope not
It's not so much the falling that's worrisome. It's the sustained loss of forest cover in their jungles in north-east India. As trees are cut down and forest canopies become less dense, less close together, gibbons are forced to come to the ground to move from place to place. This makes them incredibly vulnerable to feral dogs, humans and other predators.
All the time in fact. Most gibbons fall. A lot of wrist injuries occur while trying to break a nasty fall.
@@GajanaNigade :(
They fall pretty often, they're just light and small enough that they don't tend to get horrific injuries or die. Broken bones are exceedingly common, but they're rarely fatal since they are very tough and also social, and can take care of each other pretty well.
First of all sahmar is a whole mood
Gibbon side of UA-cam
Is it me or is the dad showing off? lol jk that was satisfying
They can move at the speed of an unladen swallow.
African or European?
@@Oakhart76 What? uh- I don't know that?
at 2:18 bro really said I believe I can fly
I think that in the Disney movie Tarzan, when Tarzan was swinging on the lianas and walking along the edges of the trees, for me they were based on the movements of the gibbons, because gorillas and others do not have that fluid agility of gibbons apart they have a favor their body weight that is not so much and therefore they can do many maneuvers swinging on thin branches, I could spend hours admiring their agility and freedom
Well if I remember correctly, in the movie itself, Tarzan never learned tree-swinging from gorillas. He learns it from the monkeys (or maybe gibbons? I can't remember) that he saw swinging in the trees.
@@hopelessclown colobus monkeys love to leap as well. No wonder why in Disney’s Tarzan, they taught young Tarzan himself how to swing and leap at the same time.
my uncle has one of these as a pet and I had to pin it down & slap it across the face
after it thought it would be a good idea to P all over me. Climbed right to the top of that
bookshelf and aimed it at me. Straightened that thing out right then and there..
hella footage
My shoulders hurt after watching this.
These gibbons put Tarzan to shame
In the books, Tarzan just brachiates and doesn’t swing on vines as much as he does in most other adaptations.
I'm really proud of These ancestors of ours. They know what they're doing and never really FAIL !!
They are not our ancestors. They are our cousins.
Gibbons watch humans parkour and just laugh.
I want to be a gibbon when i grow up
😊
God i wish i was a gibbon
Gibbons are the coolest
This is the specialty of gibbons
that was funky~!
And Gibbons eat mostly fruit?
Very
Interesting 🤓
I love the Gibbons but.. what a loud species.. Something they didn't mention on this video.
I love hoolock gibbons
samir, the rally car guy. i knew it.
I wonder if I can do this but of course slower. I'd love to give it a try. I don't think the trees where I live are very suitable for going tree to tree though. It's mostly coniferous trees like spruce. It's quite easy to climb a single tree so long as there is at least one branch low enough to the ground to grab. Often times in the middle of the forest though, it's quite a ways up before any of that, and it is too wide to wrap my arms around and shuffle up. I feel like climbing some trees now. I might just keep an eye out for any close together clusters of trees so that I could try going tree to tree.
@APassersby I must return to monke
0:43
"Is Samar's 1-month-old little sister...."
Me: SQUIDWARD!
"Rhya"
Me: Oh
monke speedrun any%
I LOVE GIBBONS RAAAAHHHHHH
going crazy sheesh
Up to 0:24 they sound like a human family.
We want more air crash videos
FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY..
MY QUESTION HAS BEEN ANSWERED: MALES ARE BLACK FEMALES ARE WHITE(PALE)!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU., THANK YOU!!!😘😘😘😘💕💕💕💕💕👍👍👍👍👍
Notice how it's only 2!

Doom Squidkid what?
Uh... Why are you so happy about that? lol
That last branch wasn't very forgibbon...
God is amazing
Welcome to Assam
The only ape exists in India
Wow so they have more loyal relationships than many humans!🤣😬
I've seen gibbons in a zoo make the gibbons in this video look very slow. 35 miles per hour could be reasonable.
I guess because they have fewer branch orientations to master so they get really good at them?
@@jichaelmorgan3796 That could be correct.
Ninja gibbon.
For some reason spiderman comes to life
I wish i can swing like they can
