Last Refuge: Tepuis article page 1 Mountain Gorilla (Gorilla g. beringei), Juvenile on tree, Virunga Volcanoes, Rwanda Gorillas are apes and, since apes are man's closest relatives, hold a special fascination for us. There is a clear distinction between lesser apes (gibbons and siamang, Family Hylobatidae) and the great apes (gorillas, chimpanzees and orang-utan, Family Pongidae). None of the apes possess a tail, and their forelimbs are longer than their hindlimbs. The lesser apes, which are truly arboreal, move through the trees with spectacular agility, swinging from branch to branch using forelimbs alternately. The great apes, on the other hand, are far less athletic; the orang-utan is the largest arboreal mammal, moving slowly and purposefully through the trees using all four limbs to shift its weight. Gorillas and chimpanzees generally travel along the ground, using the knuckles of their hands as an extra pair of feet.
