Primates are characterised by large brains relative to other mammals.
Their eyes face forward, giving them stereoscopic vision and vision is the sense they rely on most rather than smell like other mammals.
Most primates with a few exceptions have opposable thumbs and have developed adaptations to climb trees.
Primate babies take a long time to mature because of their brain size, relative to non-primates.
Non-human primates have oestrus cycles and many species display swellings during their fertile period.

Can primates interbreed such as Chimpanzees Orangutans Gorilla with one another to produce a Chimpilla or Gorutan or Chimpanutan?
Yes. Several species of primates, when housed together in captivity have bred and created hybrids. However, in the wild this occurrence is very rare and generally happens between the smaller species of primates. Large primates have crossed though, but risk sterility, and may not survive because of the difference in physical appearance and behavior within a group of purebred primates.
