Plenty of people colloquially call chimps monkeys.

And those people would be what we colloquially refer to as "wrong." :O:

(Or as the Librarian might say, "OOK!")

IIRC, apes (as are chimps) do not have tails, ergo chimp :DL

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curious_George


In each of the books, Curious George is identified in the text as a monkey, though in the illustrations he does not correspond exactly to any non-fictional species of monkey (and has more of the characteristics of an ape, especially a chimpanzee, or a gorilla, for example in his lack of a tail - though it should be noted that some species of monkeys, such as the Barbary macaque, have little or no tail).


Since the books call him a monkey, and he has never been visually represented as any actual extant variety of either monkey or ape, I think we're gonna have to go with "monkey." :D
