None! Great apes are apes not monkeys. You risk the Librarian’s wrath if you call him a monkey! The great apes are the chimpanzees (both types), the gorillas (both types) and the orang-utan. Oh, yes, and one other one that has decided all this and decided to separate himself from the apes altogether.
