- All great apes (Hominidae) make nests. These sleeping platforms are similarly constructed, despite species' differences in habitat and social organization. However, these simple shelters vary, not only across but also within great ape species. Nests serve mainly for rest but also have other purposes.

Apr 10, 2019 · The past few decades have seen a burgeoning of scientific studies on great apes’ use of nests for sleeping in the wild, as well as their nesting behavior and sleep in captivity. We review recent advances in knowledge of these topics, with the aim of promoting information exchange between people working in the field and with captive great apes.

Certain extant strepsirrhines (lemurs and lorisoids) and hominid apes (humans, chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans) build nests for both sleeping and raising families. Hominid apes build nests for sleeping at night, and in some species, for sleeping during the day.
Of particular interest in the study of primate sleep is nest-building behavior, which has evolved independently six to eight times in primates (Kappeler, 1998). Great apes universally build nests in which to sleep at night and sometimes during day. Nest building is a habitual behavior in great apes, constructions are built for short periods ...
