Hoot and Howl

Uploaded: August 25, 2018 08:58:15 | Entered: September 28, 2022 20:52:03

Description

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!
