Human eyes have an overlapping field of view of about 120°. Most primates have adapted to an arboreal, or tree living, way of life. Even the terrestrial ones usually sleep in the trees. The most notable exceptions are humans and gorillas. Both of these species live on the ground with occasional tree climbing for fun,

Vertical clinging and leaping in the trees. Large brained, long legged primates adapted for bipedal locomotion. In the past, treeshrews have been considered primates because they show structural similarities to early primate such as a large brain for their body size and thumbs that tend to diverge from its fingers.
