Kyle Allen Instagram – Gibbons are native to the dwindling rain forests of Southeast, South and East Asia. You’ll find gibbons in Thailand, China, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, and Indonesia (including Sumatra, Java and Borneo).
Gibbons brachiate or swing from trees using their arms which are 1.5 times longer than their legs. They can reach speeds of up to 35 mph and leap distances of up to 50 feet
Gibbons walk bi-pedal or on 2 legs.
The lifespan of a gibbon is roughly 30 – 35 years in the wild or 40 – 50 years in captivity.
The oldest known living gibbon was a 60 year-old male Müller’s gibbon named Nippy, who was housed in the Wellington Zoo in New Zealand. He passed away in 2008.
