It is probably a better question to ask what animal is a type of primate as primates are merely animals that pertain to a very certain set of traits. To be a primate, the animal does not need to have every trait as classifications are not perfect. The vast majority of animals are not primates. Humans are primates, technically they are part of apes. The other common type of primates that people think of is monkeys. Monkeys generally have tails, are smaller, and not as intelligent as apes.
