Description: Gibbons live in monogamous pairs, meaning that pairs breed for life. The adults are sexually dimorphic, allowing one to see the difference between the dark male and the light female. The offspring are born with light fur and darken to black if they are male. Early in the mornings gibbons can be heard singing in the treetops, as pairs declare their territory.
The adult for this animal is made from the baby gorilla. The adult male is black and the adult female is yellowish. The baby is made from the baby chimp. It is also yellowish. This animal likes rainforest terrain and foliage from southeast Asia only. I remade this animal 4 times, changing the code each time before I thought it was good enough to be released.

Crested Gibbon

Gibbons are highly arboreal and move by brachiation, swinging from handhold to
handhold under branches and vines, using their long fingers as hooks. Gibbons
walking bipedally on the ground hold their long arms up in the air. The thumb
is free of a palm and extends through a large range of motion.
