Question

primate locomotion - their major way of moving (swinging through the trees), is known as what?

Answer 1

The major way of moving for many primates, particularly those that live in trees, is known as "brachiation." This form of locomotion involves swinging from branch to branch using the arms. Primates that are highly adapted for brachiation, such as gibbons, have long arms and flexible shoulder joints that facilitate this type of movement.
