KEEPER NOTE Gibbons

 

“Why are the gibbons making those noises?”

To “talk” to each other, gibbons sing back and forth, and this is called DUETTING. The vocalizations can be heard over a mile away!

Gibbons form a long-time bond as a mated pair, so when they start singing, mimicking this could be considered an interruption. If you want to practice sounding like a gibbon, you might want to wait until later!

PS: What is the difference between a monkey & an ape? Monkeys have TAILS! So our gibbons are actually APES!
