A bipedal primate is referred to as a great ape, or a hominid.

∙ 11y agoNeither if you are talking about consistent bipedal locomotion. Apes are capable of walking on two legs for short distances, though. Bonobos (Pan paniscus), the close cousin of the Chimps, are excellent at walking on two legs over long distances. This is because they use their hands and arms to carry food. However, they eventually revert to walking on all fours. Apes have friction pads on their knuckles to protect their hands when walking quadrupedally. Monkeys have these pads on the palms of their hands.
