Primate resting postures : an adaptation to mammalian herbivory? by Chua, Physilia Ying Shi.

“…The functional separation of different particle sizes in the gut of an herbivorous primate is important, as faster excretion of large particles reduces the intake-limitation posed by the long microbial fermentation of plant. This separation functions only along a gravity gradient, therefore, a primate’s resting postures may affect the efficiency of its digestive strategy. …”
