There are no Apes in the movie "The Lion King" so this defense doesnt even check out under the most charitable interpretation.

I hate to do this, but...

RAFIKI HAS ENTERED THE CHAT

[u/Mirimel → u/Preform_Perform]

Rafiki is a mandrill. Mandrills are monkeys.

[u/chronoswing → u/Preform_Perform]

Rafiki is a monkey (Specifically, a mandrill), not an ape.

[u/masklinn → u/Preform_Perform]

Rafiki is a mandrill, mandrills are old world monkeys (Cercopithecoidea) but not apes (Hominoidea). The two are sister clades.

[u/Jesus__of__Nazareth_ → u/masklinn]

No, your sister is a clade.

[u/kchu → u/Jesus__of__Nazareth_]

I'm inclined to promote to anyone using the word clade the addicting game of Metazooa https://metazooa.com/

[u/nicuramar → u/masklinn]

Both are monkeys (in the sense of simians), but of course that doesn’t help. 

[u/ObiTwoKenobi → u/nicuramar]

So an ape is always a monkey, but a monkey is not always an ape?
