Apes
You can really go ape learning about the creatures in our Apes category! Native to Africa and Asia, there are two basic types of apes: great apes and lesser apes. Come on in to this category to learn more about the creatures that are said to be man's closest relatives in the animal kingdom.

Apes (including Chimpanzees, Gorillas, Bonobos and Orangutans) eat primarily fruit and vegetation, however certain apes, such as the Bonobos and the Chimpanzee, have food sources that can range from live prey, such as insects, to small mammals (even other primates, such as monkeys). Therefore, they are omnivores, much like humans. Depending on their location and the amount of food available, an ape will eat just about anything
Why do you suppose there are more monkey than ape species?
Long and complicated answer to this, but I'll try to make it short.
Originally there were more species of ape, however the monkeys were quicker and more rapidly adapting to their environment, and out-competed the apes. This caused apes to change their shoulder joints in order to hang beneath the branches rather than run along the top of them so that they filled a different 'niche', they also shifted their distribution range to Asia (African apes migrated back to Africa after becoming apes in Asia, rather than evolved from African monkeys). Monkeys are also smaller (therefore need less to eat, meaning less territory to travel over), live in large groups, have shorter gestation periods...
In short, the monkeys out-competed the majority of the species of ape.
Second answer
Apes are descended from monkeys. Monkeys are primarily arboreal, meaning they live their lives in the trees. Apes are part-terrestrial-part-arboreal, meaning they spend the day on the ground and the nights in the trees. Terrestrial animals require large territories in which they can roam to find food. The availability of food sources therefore affects where they can live. Only a few areas are able to support apes, while all monkeys need are plenty of trees. A good comparison would be between the myriad species of birds and the small handful of large flightless birds, such as Ostriches.
What is an ape found in Borneo called?
The cryptid animal referred to as the ape of Sumatra is called an Orang Pendek.
Who is the strongest ape or man?
Super saiyan is strong because super saiyan is 50 times powerful then normal and a great ape is stronger ten fold then normal that means super saiyan is so strong
How many apes are there and what are there names?
How many species of Apes are there? Well, I know six: Gibbons, Chimpanzees, Gorillas, Bonobos, Orangutans and Humans.
Apes are found all over the world, because humans are one species. Non-human apes also exist in zoos and some research laboratories. In the wild, non-human apes tend to live in rainforest in the Old World, near the equator. Chimpanzees, bonobos and gorillas live in Africa; orangutans, gibbons and siamangs live in Southeast Asia.
Yes they can their was a lady on T.V. that had one as a pet...... but she was on their because her gorilla attacked her.
What is the difference between ape's teeth and humans?
In apes, the canines or "the fangs" are larger and project out from tooth row, while in humans they are a similar size to the other teeth and don't stick out. Chimpanzees have thin tooth enamel while humans have thick tooth enamel. The dental wear pattern on chimps shows a grinding action while human dental wear pattern shows more of a crushing action.
Do non-human primates have culture?
Yes. We used to think about certain behaviors, especially tool use, as being primarily human. However, spontaneous tool use has been observed in many species of non-human primates. Chimpanzees make "wands" to fish for termites, for example. Capuchins (the new world monkeys that most people think of when they think of a generalized monkey) also use tools--they use rocks to crack open nuts.
Of course, crows can also make and use surprisingly sophisticated tools, so we probably the main issue is that human beings like to think our behaviors are more special than they are.
Yes, primates have learned sign language, how to count, can use tools, show empathy, and a sense of humor, to name but a few behaviours that are usually thought to be human.
Which ape has a brightly colored face?
Baboon
That would be the Mandrill, a type of Baboon. See Related link.
How many type apes in the world?
There are eight extant genera of apes, with a total of twenty-four species. These are divided into two main categories, Great Apes and Lesser Apes, each of which has four genera (seventeen Lesser Ape species, seven Great Ape species).
A quadrumanous mammal, esp. of the family Simiadae, having teeth of the same number and form as in man, and possessing neither a tail nor cheek pouches. The name is applied esp. to species of the genus Hylobates, and is sometimes used as a general term for all Quadrumana. The higher forms, the gorilla, chimpanzee, and ourang, are often called anthropoid apes or man apes., One who imitates servilely (in allusion to the manners of the ape); a mimic., A dupe., To mimic, as an ape imitates human actions; to imitate or follow servilely or irrationally.
What does that mean or signify if apes and monkeys are primates?

What are apes' body covered with?
Ape have the same body covering as we do: skin with hair and sweat glands. They just have more hair than humans do.
How did humans evolve from nomads to civilization?
Humans Had Evolved From Nomads to Civilization By Moving from place to place during the seasons. They Also Searched for food and water. One member in the group had to hunt, fish. A couple of groups had cut trees or grass, then burned them to clear a field. Some Humans Had even started to tame animals. The humans mind started to improve and develop by the education or training. So the Civilization had also advanced state of the humans society in which the high level of culture, science, and government had been reached.
When the split of monkeys and apes take place?
The split between monkeys and apes occurred around 25 to 30 million years ago during the Miocene epoch. This divergence marked the separation of Old World monkeys, which belong to the family Cercopithecidae, from the lineage that would lead to apes, including gibbons, orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans. The evolutionary paths of these two groups continued to diverge, leading to the distinct characteristics seen in modern monkeys and apes today.
How would you describe an import quota?
An import quota sets a physical limit on the amount of goods that may be imported during a given period. An export quota does the same for a nation's exports.
