Yes and No, There are two types of Apes, Great Apes and Lesser Apes. Chimpanzees, Gorillas, Orangutans, and Bonobos are all Great Apes. Gibbons and Siamangs are Lesser Apes.
No. Chimpanzees belong to a totally different primate family from monkeys, called hominidae, or great apes. This category is shared with humans,gorillas,bonobos,and orangutans. The main difference is, monkeys have tails, apes do not.
No! Chimpanzees are great apes, along with Bonobos, Gorillas, Orangutans, and Humans. Monkeys are physically quite different from apes--one of the easiest ways to tell a monkey from an ape is that a monkey has a tail. An ape does not.
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
No, orangutans are apes and apes do not have tails. Monkeys have tails.
The four major groups of primates are prosimians (such as lemurs and tarsiers), New World monkeys (such as spider monkeys and howler monkeys), Old World monkeys (such as baboons and macaques), and apes (such as gorillas and orangutans).
monkeys have tails
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ape http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey Generally, monkeys are smaller and have tails. Within apes are 13 species of Hylobatidae, and the great apes (Hominidae) which include orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans.
Only monkeys have tails
Gibbons are considered apes, not monkeys. Apes are distinguished by having a larger body size, no tail, and more complex social behaviors compared to monkeys. Gibbons are part of the ape family because they lack a tail and have larger bodies, closer to that of other apes like gorillas and orangutans.
