Gorilla or chimp (3)

I believe the answer is:

ape

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'gorilla' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'chimp' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for ape that I've seen before include "Simulate" , "Primate resembling a human" , "Idiot" , "Our cousin" , "Closely follow" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, The Wall Street Journal, the King Feature Syndicate and the USA Today.
