Catwalks are Passé: Playful Gibbon Shows His Amusing Walk on Shaky Bridge – Video

New Delhi (Sputnik): The apes usually shown in movies swinging gracefully from one branch of a tree to another are gibbons, which live in dense forests and rarely go down to the ground.

A gibbon decided to undertake an acrobatic task by walking on the rope of a shaky bridge in an amusing video, which shows the ape cat-walking on the cord, swaying to the right and left, doing its best not to fall and successfully completing the task.

​According to the Indian forest officer who shared the video, gibbons can be found in the north-eastern region of India. The tiny-sized creatures are crowd pullers and entertainers in zoos. They live in dense forests, especially those in southern Asia, and are used to living in trees.
