    The differences between orangutans and monkeys are as follows:

    1. The body shape is different

    The biggest difference between orangutans, also known as apes, and monkeys is their tails, which orangutans do not have and monkeys do, which they use to maintain balance or climb trees.

    2. The proportions of the limbs are different

    Orangutans have shorter hind limbs than forelimbs, and monkey hind limbs are longer than forelimbs.

    3. Different walking postures

    Orangutans walk with their fingers bent and the back of their hands or knuckles touching the ground, while monkeys walk with their fingers straight and palms touching the ground.

    4. The growth direction of arm hair is different

    Orangutan hair grows horizontally or upwards in the direction of the palm of the hand in monkeys.

    5. Different body types:

    Orangutans are generally larger than monkeys, with upper limbs longer than lower limbs and can walk upright, while monkeys use four legs to walk.

    6. IQ is different:

    The brain capacity of orangutans is 400 500 cubic centimeters on average, the brain capacity of monkeys is generally less than 200 cubic centimeters, and the physiological form and behavior of orangutans are closer to humans than monkeys, and the genetic similarity between chimpanzees and humans is as high as that, among the orangutan species, Australopithecus is the ancestor of humans.

    are of the same kind, all primates; But different families and genera.

    Orangutans belong to the order Primates, Simplenose Suborder, Hominidae, Orangutan Subfamily, Orangutan genus. Monkeys belong to the order Primates, the suborder of apes, the family Monkeyidae, the subfamily Monkeyidae Subfamily Colobus Monkey Subfamily, 22 genera.

    Bornean orangutans (orangutans) are second only to gorillas in size among primates, males are larger than females, and their arms hang down up to their ankles when standing; The arms and hands are thick and powerful, and the legs are short and not as thick as the arms; Body hair is sparse, dark reddish-brown, with a prominent forehead and a prominent mouth.

    Monkey is a general term for mammalian primates, omnivorous, fruit-based, and does not let go of readily available meat, and is a member of three species of ape primates.

    The vast majority of primates live in some form of arboreal or semi-arboreal life, with the exception of ring-tailed lemurs, baboons and macaques that live terrestrial or in rocky areas. They usually move in small family groups but also in large groups. Most are able to walk upright, but not for long.

    They are mostly active during the day, and those who are active at night include finger monkeys, some large lemurs, night monkeys, etc. The great lemur and the lemur take a few to several weeks of summer sleep during the hot and dry season.

    No. Monkeys are mammals, primates, monkeys (depending on what kind of monkey you are, such as macaques, lemurs, langurs, etc.); Orangutans are mammals, primates, and orangutans. See what kind of orangutans are (gorillas, chimpanzees, etc.).

    In addition, there are baboons, apes, etc. But in general, orangutans are more advanced than monkeys.

    - -In general, the orangutan is a monkey, the monkey is an orangutan, dig haha, for my orangutan and a monkey, it's no different because it's non-human.

    Is this one?The problem is very serious...Orangutans and monkeys are not of the same kind...

    Because of an evolutionary process. .One or a monkey = = though that Sun Wukong is very harmful.

    But He is a monkey. Orangutans are ugly, though. But it's so bad that it's going to evolve!

    Hahaha

    Yes or no, they think they're all animals, but one is a star and the other is a monkey, and they don't pronounce it the same.

    Difference Between Monkey and Orangutan:1. Monkeys belong to the family of primate monkeys, and orangutans belong to the family of primates.

    2. Monkeys have tails, while orangutans have no tails.

    3. Orangutans are generally larger than monkeys.

    4. The arms of the monkey are generally the same length as the legs, and the arms of the orangutan are longer than the legs, so when walking on all fours, the hips and shoulders of the monkey are in a horizontal plane, while the shoulders of the orangutan are significantly higher than the buttocks.

    5. The range of motion of the upper arm of the orangutan is significantly greater than that of the monkey, for example, when walking upright, the upper arm of the orangutan can be raised, but the monkey cannot (except for the spider).

    6. Orangutans almost do not use all fours to walk, but walk in an upright position.

    7. The intelligence level of orangutans is generally more developed than that of monkeys.

    8. Orangutans are also closer to humans in other aspects such as physiology, morphology, and behavior than monkeys.

    Unlike orangutans, they are primates, true monkeys, and narrow-nosed monkeys. In this sense, orangutans are a type of specialized monkey. But to elaborate, the genus Orangutan is a kind of ape superfamily under the order Primates, the suborder of true monkeys, and the narrow-nosed monkey suborder, so it is not a kind of monkey.

    In general, in the order of primates, other classes that do not belong to the ape superfamily are collectively referred to as monkeys.

    Oh no, two different animals.

    It's not the same. Orangutan is a type of monkey, but in more detail, orangutan is a type of ape superfamily under the order Primate, the suborder of true monkeys, and the narrow-nosed monkey suborder, so it is not a type of monkey. In general, in the order of primates, other classes that do not belong to the ape superfamily are collectively referred to as monkeys.

    Monkeys, members of the three species of ape primates, primates are the population of the animal kingdom, monkeys generally have well-developed brains, toes of hands and feet are separated, thumbs are flexible, and most of them can hold other toes.

    Monkeys do not form a "natural group", and because apes resemble monkeys, chimpanzees, gibbons, etc., are often called monkeys informally, but biologists do not consider them monkeys. This distinguishes the difference in physiognomy caused by different types. Monkeys do not have any distinguishing features, as their characteristics are derived from apes and apes.

    Gorilla is the general name of the genus Gorilla ape, a subfamily of primates, and the gorilla is much larger than chimpanzees and orangutans, and is the largest ape and the largest primate.

    Researchers sequenced the gorilla's genome and analyzed it to be 98% similar to the human genome, and in some cases, the similarity between the human genome and the gorilla genome was even higher than that of the latter. In taxonomy, monkeys belong to the monkey family and gorillas belong to the hominidae family, they are actually different.

This is complicated, you can say that it is mutually beneficial symbiosis, or you can say predation and ** food, which depends on human behavior.

If you don't rely on external forces, the strength of people is not as great as the strength of orangutans, and you really can't beat it. Of course, our ancestors relied on wisdom and talent to survive and multiply.
