The Swinging Gibbon

Talk about acrobatics. These gibbons in Borneo can swing from branch to branch, sometimes up to 30 feet. And that's without a rope or safety net!

When I listen to stupid, dumbed-down commentary like this, it makes me SO happy that we have Sir David Attenborough

You know...I'm trying to learn more about gibbons and all these youtube videos keep putting this goofy lame music with some lame commentator that portrays nature as a joke and another form of entertainment for mindless humans. I'm really starting to get pissed.

@schmetterlink I don't know what LCD stands for, but agreed. this commentary and sound effects added in is just embarassing

[schmetterlink]

National Geographic used to make the best documentaries. Now they're just the worst LCD crapola.
