Chimpanzees belong to the order Primates, which includes monkeys, apes, and humans. Chimpanzees are assigned to the family Pongidae, which includes all of the other apes: gorillas, orang-utans, and gibbons. Compared with monkeys, apes are larger, have no tail, and have longer arms and a broader chest. When apes stand upright, their long arms reach below their knees. They also have a great deal of upper body strength, needed for a life spent mostly in the forest canopy.
