In the rain forests of Southeast Asia live the most agile of all mammals: the slender, long-limbed gibbons are remarkably agile brachiators.
Gibbons live in small family units, and claim a certain area of the forest as their territory. Each morning, before their daily search for fruits, leaves, and buds, and the occasional insect or young bird, they warn intruders of their presence by making ear-splitting shrieks that can be heard over long distances.
