      Gibbons usually seem to have tender dispositions when trained with any show of kindness. They are fond of showing affection to those they know and love. Exuberant over the least favor, they embrace and kiss their master with surprising fervor. With a little whoop of joy, they jump readily into your arms, twine their arms around your neck with little affectionate “Hu hu” putterings.
      In many ways they are like children.
