Lar Gibbon

Reid Park (Tucson) Zoo

"Gibbons are built for living in trees. Their long strong arms help them swing easily from branch to branch.

The gibbon’s swinging movement is called brachiation. It saves energy by maintaining momentum, using the body as a pendulum.

Most monkeys have tails, but apes don’t. This is one of the smallest apes, and the only one exhibited at Reid Park Zoo."

I agree with Simon, the DOF works well in this. Mr Gibbon looks like a little old man with that gray ring around his face. Also looks like he is deep in thought. Very wonderful capture. V

Nice capture Carol. I agree with Simon.. the slant and blur of the wire cage adds to the image. V

Beautiful shot. Lovely heart shape outline around the face. Looks a little sad cooped up. V
