Suspensory behaviour is a form of arboreal locomotion or a feeding behavior that involves hanging or suspension of the body below or among tree branches. [1] This behavior enables faster travel while reducing path lengths to cover more ground when travelling, searching for food and avoiding predators.
In addition to animal locomotion, most animals are motile, though some are vagile, described as having passive locomotion. Many bacteria and other microorganisms , including even some viruses , [ 9 ] and multicellular organisms are motile; some mechanisms of fluid flow in multicellular organs and tissue are also considered instances of motility ...
