There are two species of chipanzees, but they are both small, black-haired apes. Gorillas are very large, with males being much larger than the females. Chimps and gorillas live in Africa. They all form social groups\n\nOrangutans are red-haired, solitary apes that live in the islands of south east Asia (Indonesia etc). Like the gorillas, the males are much larger than the females.

humans... Homo sapiens\namerican buffalo ...  Bison bison\nchinook salmon... Oncorhynchus tshawytscha\ncommon chimpanzee... Pan troglodytes\npygmy chimpanzee...  Pan paniscus\n\nNote that the species is identified by both its genus and species name, with the genus capitalized and the species not capitalized... The genus and species can even be the same name, like the buffalo.  Species can sometimes be broken down into sub-species as well...

great apes from chimpanzees have got 96% similarity to humans

There used to be more than one species of humans but they died out. Technically there are animals that are our species like chimps, but are not humans. Some researches even believe we should be part of the same genus as well. All dogs are one species just different breeds like we have different races.  There are probably so many species of frogs because they can all cohabitate on the earth without interfering with each other and killing each other off.

Technically, we don't differ from primates since Homo sapiens are primates.  Monkeys, lemurs, apes and hominids all belong to the order Primates.   \n\nI'm assuming your question is "How do we differ from other primates?"  So, I'll answer that instead.  \n\nWe are unlike the other primates physically in that we do not have opposable thumbs on our feet.  Our hipbones are structured differently to facilitate vertical walking.  Due to this, unlike other primates, humans are the only obligatory bipedal primates.  One misconception is that humans are hairless relatives of apes.  In fact, we have just the number of hair follicles per square centimeter of skin that one would expect on an animal of our size.  It's just thought our hair is unpigmented and finer and shorter than most other animals so it's not as visible at a glance.    \n\nApart from physical characteristics, our advanced brain size and capacity exceeds that of lesser primates.  This allows us to have abstract thought and use logic and other ideas that lesser primates are capable of.  Our use of tools and external objects to compensate our physical shortcomings is unrivaled not only among other primates, but among all other organisms.  \n\nWe do have some common characteristics with primates.  After all, we are supposed to have descended from a common ancestor.  Like other primates, we have opposable thumbs on our hands.  Also, all primates have five fingers (not counting my old shop teacher, Mr. Windslow).  All primates have fingernails instead of claws, or other keratinous apendages.  In general, primates are social creatures.  All primates also have forward facing eyes, useful for depth perception.  Humans are similar to most primates in that we are both omnivorous, meaning that we have the physiology to eat and digest both plant matter and meat.

We aren't. Whatever makes you believe that we are? Have you never seen a chimpanzee?\n\nIf you look at the photo of a chimp that I have linked to below you wil notice that it has exactly the same palm complexion as humans.\n\nThe only difference is that chimps usually have light complected knuckles as well. That is because chimps walk on their knuckles so they get just as little sun exposure as their palms or the soles of their feet.

the main difference is monkeys have tails and generally can be found in trees. gorrillas do not have tails and spend most of their time on the ground.

Orangutans are anthropoid apes or great apes. The living anthropoid apes consist of Chimpanzees, Bonobos, Gorillas, Orangutans, and of course, Humans. Gigantopithecus lived as recently as 50,000 years ago in Southeast Asia, and some think they may still exist, deep in the jungles.

we did not evolve from apes\nwe are not "children" of apes we are more like "cousins"\nwe have common ancestors and we have all evolved to suit different situations

They are close, but the list is as follows:\n\n1. Great Apes\n2. Whales and Dolphins\n3. Elephants\n4. Parrots

One of the most interesting interspecies relationship exists between chimpanzees and baboons, for they are both enemies and best friends.\n\nDue to their physical and behavioral similarities, they understand each other's signals for communication.Both species face many of the same predators which they had established cooperation in repelling tthose predators. Interspecies interactions occur most frequently when young are involved. It is very common to witness young baboons and chimpanzees wrestling together, and even for an adult baboon to tickle a young chimp.\n\nAt the same time, baboons and chimpanzees can prove to be bitter rivals. They often compete for feeding sites and may fight violently over killed prey. Neither species is considered dominant over the other, the outcome of a dispute is determined by the number of each species present and the temper of the individuals involved.\n\nIt is also known that chimpanzees are allies of gorilla.♥

Some Dude gave a great answer-I would add, just for interest, that the human race has exceedingly little genetic variation compared to other animals.  A recent study showed that an average-sized chimpanzee colony has more genetic variation that the entire human race.  This is presumably because at some point in the recent past (150-200,000 years) our common ancestors existed, and evidently our race must have been very close to going extinct, leaving a very small pool of humans with which to populate the Earth.

http://www.becominghuman.org/\n\nYou'll get a lot of the story here - nice site.\n\nMonkeys are not apes - apes are chimps and bonobos and gibbons and gorillas and orangutangs.  They're primates, though, for sure.
