An animal that moves by brachiation, swinging from one arm hold to another; typically refers to apes and some primates.
From 'brachiate' (to move by swinging arms) + agent suffix '-or.' This scientific term specifically names creatures whose primary locomotion method is arm-swinging.
Gibbons are the supreme brachiators—their arms are as long as their entire body, giving them a reach advantage that makes them unmatched in the forest canopy.
