Primates

Primates are a specific class of animals that are split into different classes based on characteristics. For example, Apes are Hominoidea and are known for having no tail and being larger and more intelligent than monkeys. Monkeys are smaller and known for their tales. Some examples of apes are Gorillas, Chimpanzees and Orangutans. Some Monkeys are Macaques, Baboons, and Spider Monkeys. In the Silly Song from Larry in Veggietiales, he discusses weather he is looking at a Monkey or a Ape While on a Saffari. Its very simple. If it doesn't have a tale its not a monkey, its an ape.
