Today I will be comparing apes to monkeys. I am going to be comparing them in 3 different ways.Their traits,diet,and habitat.They both are very similar to each other are also very different. When it comes to traits the ape and monkey have more differences than they do similarities.Apes are large primates and are usually larger than monkeys.Apes do not have a tail while a monkey has a tail. Apes are also considered to be more intelligent than monkeys. Another big difference is that an ape can walk on two legs while a monkey walks on all fours.There are few similarities between the two when it comes to traits. They both are primates and both have fur on their bodies. Unlike the traits of monkeys and apes the
diets of the two primates is a lot similar. They both eat leaves,fruits,and insects. Also they share a liking to meat. Both apes and monkeys will climb trees to get fruits,leaves,and insects. Also apes and monkeys both eat their food with their hands. One of the few differences in their diets is that an ape will eat flowers and a monkey will eat roots: not flowers. Monkeys and apes live in very similar habitats. They both live in forests or rainforests. Also they both can live in high plains and mountains. Apes only live in Africa or Indonesia in the wild. Monkeys however live in Asia,Africa,and Central and South America. Apes and monkeys however live everywhere in the world in zoos. All in all monkeys and apes have a lot of similarities and a great deal of differences. They are two fascinating creatures and I am glad i got to compare the two today.
