This Gibbon Skeleton Highlights Skeletal Adaptations Of Small Apes

This exceptional re-creation of Hylobates lar shows the unique structure of the gibbon framework, situated somewhere between monkeys and great apes, sharing some features of each. Gibbons spend more time walking bipedally than any other non-human primate, and their arms are the longest of all primates proportional to their body size. Students can examine the characteristics of the gibbon skeleton that equip it to both walk and flourish in a canopy lifestyle.
