What is the difference between monkeys and apes?
From what I've read, two of the main differances are that monkeys are generally considered intelligent, and unlike apes, they usually have tails. (according to wikipedia)- Monkeys have tails and apes do not.- Monkeys have slanted nasal openings.- Apes have rounded nasal openings.- Apes generally have bigger brains and larger bodies than monkeys.- Monkeys have web foot and apes do not have.- Monkeys are smaller in terms of size and apes are biggerThe distinction has more to do with taxonomy than macroscopic differences, which applies as general guides more than rules (they have been separated on these standards though, at the very beginning):- Apes are : Chimps, Gorillas, Orangutans and Gibbons.- Monkeys are all primates non-apes and non-prosimians (lemurs)Apes don't have tails and monkeys do. Also apes are much bigger and stronger
