Crossword Genius

Primate's one crazy ape! (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

impersonate

'ape' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'primate's one crazy' is the wordplay.
'crazy' is an anagram indicator.
'primates'+'one'='primatesone'
'primatesone' anagrammed gives 'IMPERSONATE'.

(Other definitions for impersonate that I've seen before include "Mimic" , "ape" , "Pinch identity of" , "to be an impressionist" , "Take off" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
