Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gibbons are the only primates that use suspensory locomotion as their primary mode of movement. They have unique physical adaptations such as elongated arms, long fingers and a specialized wrist joint that allows them to swing through branches in a motion called brachiation. Macaques, vervets and baboons are all terrestrial primates that move around on all fours or walk on two legs.
