Chimp or orangutan (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ape

This clue is a double definition.

'chimp' is the first definition.
(chimpanzees are apes)

'orangutan' is the second definition.
(orangutans are apes)

(Other definitions for ape that I've seen before include "Large primate" , "Take off" , "Mimic the primate" , "Copy - primate" , "Imitate like primate" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
