Hoot and Howl


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Hoot and Howl
Hoot and Howl
Lucy, a white-handed gibbon, from the Cameron Zoo in Waco. A rework for the Framing the Subject (Techniques) category. Gibbons communicate through loud vocalizations including loud whoops, hoots and howls that are typically a duet between males and females. Calling is usually initiated by the female. Males call with a high pitched “quaver song” and the females call with a plaintive swooping call, rising to a crescendo. Songs can be heard up to ½ mile away.
Enjoy your Saturday!
