Abstract: Every species within the Order Primates is arboreal to some degree (ranging from semiarboreal to primarily arboreal). The diversity of the species within this Order is echoed by the myriad physical adaptations and postural behaviors developed to exploit the resources of their respective arboreal environments. Such behaviors and adaptations allow primates to not only expand their feeding sphere to include food that would otherwise have been unobtainable (such as suspending from a stronger support in order to feed on items on a lower, weaker support) but also flee from predators quickly and quietly (such as in brachiation).
