Ans. A primate can be defined and said to be a mammal with long toes and fingers. The nails present on each toe and finger replace the wild claw that was first present. Shoulder joints are also present that allow the arms of a primate to swing and rotate. In addition to all this, a primate is well adapted with a very tough clavicle, binocular-based vision and cerebrum that is developed enough.
Examples of primates are- apes, gorillas, lemurs, orang-utans, baboons, species of monkeys, etc.
