Arboreal lifestyle is characterized by increased stay in trees and forested areas. Primates which have got this kind of life tend to spend most of their time in trees while sleeping, eating, or playing. These primates have got well developed feet and hands to enable them crawl along branches and also reach for food which in most cases tend to be fruits. These animals also have got impressive sense of sight which enable them to develop depth perception which is highly important for them as they move from one tree branch to another.
