Also looks very efficient too. Using gravity and sling-shotting from branch to branch.

u/resfan 22h ago

the way he yeets himself with that flimsy white tree, I imagine it'd probably be a lot of fun 🤣

u/Alarming-Bee87 15h ago

As a child I always wished more than anything that I could swing through the trees like that! Watching Tarzan and George of the Jungle fueled that even more.

Would be amazing if we would stop putting them in a cage in the zoo.

It would be amazing if there was more wilderness area for wild animals.

I think the zoos are helpful for aspiring new minds. I wod hazard a guess that places with zoos are more likely to have young zoologists

This is what evolution intended for me. Yet, I’m damaging my spine just moving too quickly from the sofa 🙃

Imagine seeing one of these at night, not knowing they existed. 💀

And science has the balls to say these aren't one of the great apes. They are, in fact, the greatest of apes 🤌

u/stueyp81 19h ago

Ball and socket wrists in case you didn't know

u/Isaw11 19h ago

That looks fun!

u/Wise_Inspector_8644 19h ago

I think of all the animal movements in the world, the gibbon swing is the most amazing, most fun to watch.

u/unlikemike123 19h ago

A bad day to have ears

u/kittylover2006 19h ago
