The lar gibbon can make a zoo visit feel like you've stumbled into a treetop acrobatics show. Watch one move through the canopy and you'll see why its long arms are so useful. It swings beneath branches in smooth arcs, often covering several meters with a single series of effortless movements. Unlike many monkeys, gibbons do not have tails, so their arms do much of the work when traveling through trees. Listen, too. A lar gibbon's loud, ringing calls can carry across a large enclosure and are often one of the first clues that one is nearby. Between bouts of swinging, it may sit quietly on a branch, groom a companion, or reach out for fruit. Their white hands and feet stand out against the darker fur, especially when they grab a branch or pull food closer. Spend a few minutes watching the upper levels of the exhibit rather than just the ground, and the gibbon's movement becomes the main event.
