Do gibbons have tails Like the other apes, gibbons do not have a tail. Some species have a large throat sac that inflates like a bagpipe and amplifies their call song. Unfortunately, they are no longer found in China. They have no tails, and their arms are longer than their legs. White-handed gibbons have the largest latitudinal range of Hylobates species (Gron, 2010). They can have noticeable hairs around the mouth, not unlike a very thin mustache or silvery five-o’clock shadow. Their lack of tails and long, dense hair that ranges in color from cream to black also distinguish gibbons from other primates. A gibbon can brachiate at speeds as high as 55km/h (35 mph) and can travel as far as 9 m (30 feet) in one swing. Like all apes, gibbons lack tails. In many species the males and females are different colors. kgmb 8zq 7arvo 9m9t03m fopkq xwgwr lyzs p7kt mxwu fb
