Great Apes

Great apes are a group of primates that includes orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos, and humans. They are characterized by their larger brains, complex social structures, and advanced behaviors compared to other primates. Great apes do not have tails and exhibit a wide range of emotions and intelligence, including problem-solving and tool use. They typically live in social groups and have strong family bonds. Their habitats are primarily tropical and subtropical forests, and many species are currently threatened due to habitat loss and poaching, making conservation efforts crucial for their survival.
