Gibbons - Guardians Of The Rainforest I created this photo art to celebrate my favorite ape and primate; the gibbon. How are gibbons guardians? Gibbons vocalize because they’re singing to maintain family cohesion but vocalizations can also be warnings of danger. Gibbons are also a sign of a healthy forest because they require an intact forest to live, They live high in the trees and travel by brachiation (using their strong arms to swing from branch to branch and tree to tree). Obviously you can’t swing from tree to tree if you don’t have trees! #Gibbon #Gibbons #LesserApe #Arboreal #TreeDwellers #Ape #NotMonkeys #Brachiation #Primates #SoutheastAsia #SouthAsia #KeystoneSpecies (at Southeast Asia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLvAvPIFfHY/?igshid=4dgqmlrrhelv

In parkour we always called this move a ‘baby giant’. Giant being the gymnastics move where you swing 360 around the bar with your body in a straight handstand position. 🤸🏼‍♂️ It’s not hard to attempt it’s essentially just a ‘ninja get up’, the easiest way to go from below a bar to on top of it as seen in the last clip (anyone got another name for it?), but you pull hard enough up at the right angle that you clear the bar with your hips, stomach and chest. It’s a good combination of strength, swing, timing and spacial awareness. 👌🏼 I’ve not been able to do it in years but with my frequent training now I’ve attempted it every few weeks just to see how it feels and finally rekindled it yesterday! I believe from a mixture of all the kipping pull-ups and bouldering I’ve been doing lately 🐵 Maybe one to try next time your hanging on a bar with space above? Or perhaps you already got it? My next challenge is to try two in a row, gotta workout the timing and angle 🤓🤔 #parkour #brachiation #crossfit #movementculture #idoportalmethod #gymnastics #calisthenics #freerunningn #ninjawarrior #ninjawarrioruk (at CrossFit Mercia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsxtt2XgPEF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=semuylfcmunn

I'm definitely most in my element when I'm monkeying around! (this sort of movement is actually more characteristic of apes but sshhhh) #lastonefornow #parkour #acro #acrobatics #gymnastics #training #brachiation (at Level Up Academy)

Gibbon Parent and Child. Gibbons are found in Southeast and South Asia. They travel by swinging along suspended by their arms - it’s called brachiation. **************************************** This is one of 50 or so Photos I collected from 1998 or so through 2009 or a bit later. If you recognize it as yours tell me and I’ll credit you. Thanks! **************************************** #Gibbon #Gibbons #GibbonParent #GibbonChild #SouteastAsia #SouthAsia #PhotosCollected1998Through2009ish #Rainforest #Brachiation #CanopyDweller https://www.instagram.com/p/B9djdygAFI1/?igshid=2e99x734tx3d
