Gibbons and Orangutans

The gibbon and orangutan are two primates who get along. The gibbon, with it's small thin stature and extremely long arms is the primate built for swinging in trees, where as the orangutan, is very careful about every one of their movements, on land and in the trees. But what about the size difference? Well, the orangutan and the gibbon are quite friendly toward each other. True, they wouldn't go out of the way to say hello to each other, but if they happened to meet up they might lend a helping hand to each other if one was in need when they met up. I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea, and attempt to keep one as a pet, Don't. These animals are wild, and do not make good pets. it would be abusive to have one as a pet. But if you were to see one, remember how incredible these animals are.
