What are Arboreal apes?

Arboreal apes are primates that primarily live in trees, adapted to a life of climbing and swinging through branches. This group includes gibbons and orangutans, which possess long arms and flexible joints that facilitate their movement in a forested environment. Their adaptations often include a lightweight body structure and strong grasping hands and feet, allowing them to navigate their arboreal habitats effectively. These apes are known for their social behaviors and vocalizations, often using songs to communicate with one another.
