Except for gorillas and humans, all true apes are agile climbers of trees. Apes are sometimes confused with monkeys, but unlike their smaller primate counterparts, apes do not have tails and their arms are usually longer than their legs. They are best described as omnivorous, their diet consisting of fruit, grass seeds, and in most cases some quantities of meat and invertebrates – either hunted or scavenged – along with anything else available and easily digested. They are native to Africa and Asia, although humans have spread to all parts of the world.
