They belong to the lizard family. Some have sticky feet to stick to the trees they are climbing. Others jump and glide to avoid being caught by their predators. Gorillas are part of the ape family. They eat plants and fruit.
Gorillas amble around the forest floor using their feet and knuckles.
They can move quickly for a short distance. Gibbons are also part of the ape family. Unlike the gorilla, the gibbon swings from branch to branch through the canopy. It is by far one of the noisiest animals of the rain forest. They live in Central and South America.
