upper body strength

[tru510]

I was just looking at my chams today and was just thinking how they have so much upper body strength. they pull them selfs up with no hesitation every time. I know it takes alot to do, I am a personal trainer and to see my cham not struggle up these vines is very impressive.

...and lower body strength too

I know what you mean.
Have you ever seen them really stretch out, away from the branch that they are on, to catch a cricket?
They'll just hold on with there hindlegs and use their tail for balance. I think it's pretty amazing to watch.

my veiled likes to climb on the top of the cage and yesterday he let go with his front legs leaned down got a cricket and pulled himself back up, it looked as if he were doing a sit up, but upside down.....
