Both monkeys and apes possess similarities such as flexible limbs and forward-facing eyes.

Monkeys live in trees while apes are more comfortable walking beside and around the trees, as they have become accustomed to the ground.

Apes are also bigger than monkeys, and their arms are longer; however, they do have shorter legs than monkeys. Apes have a broader chest than monkeys, who have longer chests. Even though it is a matter of opinion, monkeys are said to be cuter than apes, as some people have them as pets.
