The structure of their body is similar to the structure of the human body, which allows us to talk about these primates as anthropoids. These primates do not have a tail or calluses. They also don't have cheek pouches. Feature everyone great apes lies in their method of locomotion: instead of moving using all their limbs, these animals move under branches mainly using their upper limbs. This also entailed certain anatomical changes in the primate’s body: their arms became flexible and long, and their chest flattened. All representatives of the superfamily great apes can stand on their hind legs, freeing their hands.
