PLEASE NOTE MANDATORY BYLINE - PIC BY THOMAS MARENT / ARDEA / CATERS NEWS - (PICTURED The Gibbon eyeing up the cameraman) Forget monkey bars this gutsy gibbon clearly prefers the trickier task of the tightrope. The funky monkey looked footloose and fancy free as it strutted it stuff on a branch in Borneo - mimicking the movements of an acrobat. The Hylobates agilis, also known as the Black-Handed Gibbon or the lesser ape, captivated tourists with its agile antics. As it sprinted skilfully back and forth across a branch, wildlife photographer Thomas Marent, captured the entire comic episode on camera. The 45-year-old from Baden, near Zurich, Switzerland was shooting orang utans at the Tanjung Puting National Park in Indonesia when the playful primate came into view.
