Do apes have backbones

Answer 1

No. Orangutans, instead of backbones, have a special thing called mongimandae. This causes their back to warp into strange positions allowing them free movement through the jungle, instead of having a normal backbone, which would force them to live on the ground like us measly human`s.

Answer 2

Yes they do. A primate belongs to a group of animals called vertebrates and they all have backbones and 7 vertebrae. All vertebrates have a backbone.

Answer 3

Yes, monkeys and primates have backbones, but not all apes (which lack tails) are able to easily walk upright on their legs. All mammals are vertebrates, and have a backbone.

Answer 4

Yes apes do have backbones. An apeÕs backbone has a single gentle curve, a human backbone is ÔSÕ shaped. This enables the weight to be carried nearly directly above the hip joints.
