Apes and many other primates are indeed capable of bipedalism - that is, walking on two legs. Most primates use both their legs and arms to move, most especially when they are trying to move quickly. Using both sets of limbs helps them to run faster than using two legs. Occasionally, primates may walk with only their legs if they are at leisure or play.

Actually, some animals CAN stand straight, although it is generally true that only humans regularly walk on their two legs.

But many animals, including gorillas and squirrels, are capable of standing briefly on their hind legs; however, only standing this way all the time is just not how they have evolved up to this point.
