Brachiation means to travel through the treeline by swinging underneath branches. Chimps may climb into trees to get food or sleep, but they do not use such a manor of locomotion. They are much too heavy to brachiate. Even when chasing monkeys, they balance themselves on the top of large tree limbs. They primarily travel on the ground, hence the friction pads on their knuckles. A counter example is the gibbon ape. They are excellent at brachiation because they are smaller, have longer arms in relation to their body size, and hooked hands.
