Apes sleep in trees, on the ground, and on rocks. Most of the apes sleep standing up or sitting down. It would be hard for them to roll around in their sleep as they have no pillows. Both male and female apes have better vision than humans. This is because their eyes are larger in relation to the size of their bodies than ours are.

Apes are the largest of all the primates, ranging from 30 to 100 pounds, with a measurement of approximately 5 to 9 feet. Apes have some physical features that help them climb trees and swing from branches: 4 long fingernails on their hands instead of claws; strong, flexible toes, and short, curved legs. Apes also have a thumb that moves separately from the other fingers. Apes are herbivores and eat leaves, shoots, seeds, flowers, fruit, and bark. Some species of apes also eat meat.

Do apes make shelter?

Apes make shelter by uprooting trees and using them as tools to construct sleeping platforms. The height and durability of the platform depends on the availability of materials such as wood, vines and leaves. The length of time taken to build the structure relates directly to the available length of day light. Constructing a high sleeping platform instantly attracts a critical mass of potential mates, which is why you will often see many members of a particular species constructing multiple platforms and building them even higher than required for the sleeping space; this display is intended to show-off.

What is the lifecycle of apes?

The lifecycle of apes is essentially the same as that of humans. Like humans, apes undergo embryonic development, after which they are born, go through childhood and adolescence, become adults, and reproduce to create the next generation. The apes can live up to 40 years.
