Apes & Monkeys

For much of history, people have used the terms monkey and ape interchangeably. As a matter of fact, many people today will still refer to apes as monkeys and vice versa. This is why Read morePhotowall has assembled a beautiful array of apes & monkeys posters to celebrate, but also educate about the differences between the two. Most of the differences can be described in terms of physical characteristics and evolutionary development over time. However, the quickest and easiest way to tell monkeys and apes apart is by looking for a tail. Apes do not have tails, while most monkey species do. You will see this a lot in apes & monkeys posters. Apes tend to be larger than monkeys and usually have larger brains as well. Another overlooked difference is that when moving through trees, monkeys run along branches, whereas apes swing from branch to branch using their arms. This beautiful natural movement is also seen in our excellent selection of apes & monkeys posters. Another very important aspect to apes & monkeys posters is that it highlights how these creatures are essential to the health of the forest, since they are seed dispersal agents and gardeners. Some fear that without them we may not have any have forests in the future. So get yourself apes & monkeys posters to show your love and appreciation for our closest cousins in terms of evolution.

The significance of apes & monkeys posters

Speaking of evolution, the ape species has similar basic body structures to ours, high intelligence and can even exhibit human-like behavior. For example, chimpanzees, which are closest to humans genetically, can create simple tools and use them effectively. The apes & monkeys poster entitled "Jungle Jim with Cheetah" even demonstrates how one of them interacts with a human being, using the same means. Apes also possess advanced cognitive and language skills, although they can't speak like humans, but they can use sign language and other bodily movements to communicate with humans effectively. Communication skills help gorillas, chimps and bonobos develop complex social groups and even exhibit some aspects of culture. Like humans, apes can think and solve problems in their environments. "Family Fun" is an apes & monkeys poster that perfectly illustrates that. This beautiful motif can look as good in the living room at home as it can at the break room in the office.

More apes & monkeys posters

Nearly all of the Earth's wild monkeys are confined to just four parts of the world. New World species are found in South and Central America, while Old World species are found in Asia and Africa. All of these are represented in apes & monkeys posters. Nonetheless, there is one exception though, the thriving population of wild Barbary macaques that roam free in the Iberian island of Gibraltar! DNA analysis shows that these macaques, which have been in Gibraltar for many centuries, originated from Northern Africa.
