They are surprisingly clumsy climbers. Lacking opposable thumbs and not being especially strong, they proceed upwards in a series of slow hops, gripping onto the bark of trees with their small, sharp claws. They are as comfortable hanging underneath a branch as sitting on top of it. In the air, however, they are very capable, and can glide as far as 70&nbsp;m (230&nbsp;ft) from one tree to another with minimal loss of height.<ref>{{cite book | last = Dawkins | first = Richard | title = The Ancestor's Tale | publisher = Phoenix | year = 2004 | isbn = 978-0-7538-1996-8}}</ref>
