Whats the difference between apes and monkeys?
It is certainly true that apes don’t have tails while monkeys do – there are other differences too. Baboons are definitely monkeys, old-world monkeys in fact – the group most closely related to apes. Take a look at the link below, it is the family tree of all the primates. You will see the apes (great apes and gibbons) in one group and the old-world monkeys in another + all the other primate families. It’s a good starting point for finding out more.
