Us sticklers about natural history, however, will note that we have seen 32 covers so far that depict the Great Apes... but only 7 which actually show monkeys.

 

Ape or Monkey?

The most obvious differences between apes and monkeys are: apes don't have tails, and they are generally larger than most other primates. Like most rules, this one has exceptions: some monkeys lack tails and some are large. Gibbons, considered to be lesser apes, are smaller than some monkeys. Apes rely more on vision than smell, and their noses are short and broad, rather than snoutlike. Apes are capable of creating tools and using language. They have complex social lives and are capable thinkers and problem-solvers.

 

Who's Who?

Great apes: gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans, and bonobos live in Africa and Asia; Lesser apes: gibbons and siamangs live in Asia

 

Old World monkeys: baboons, macaques, and colobus monkeys live in Africa and Asia; New World monkeys: marmosets, tamarins, and capuchins live in South and Central America

 

Prosimians: lemurs, lorises, and tarsiers live in Africa and Asia
