Gorillas have the ability to climb trees, but they do not spend most of their time in the trees. Over 80% of their daily time is spent on the ground, unlike other apes like orangutans, which live almost entirely in the trees, or chimpanzees, which might spend up to 67% of their days hanging in the trees or brachiating.Gorillas may climb trees when they want a taste of a juicy fruit or to build their nests high in the trees if they feel that nesting on the ground is risky. The heavier male gorillas climb less compared to the lighter females. They only climb after ensuring that the tree has branches strong enough to support their weight.
