Locomotor development and gap crossing behaviour in Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus)
Orangutans are the largest predominantly arboreal primate and consequently have a diverse repertoire of positional behaviour. Problems associated with travel on thin flexible supports worsen as body size increases; therefore locomotion should vary with body size. The aim of this thesis was to explor...
