A father and his child (4 years old) were playing wrestling and the child fell out of father's hand. This kind of play was frequently observed during the mast-fruiting period. It is possible that play is related to the high fruit amount.
The fallen child was caught in the bush below and survived. The gibbons of Danum Valley is now classified as Northern Gray gibbon (Hylobates funereus).
