Donkey Kong, e.g (3)

I believe the answer is:

ape

(Other definitions for ape that I've seen before include "Copy - primate" , "Imitate uncritically" , "Mimic the primate" , "intelligent creature" , "Monkey" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, the Universal, the Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, the LA Times, the L.A. Times Daily and the New York Times.
