Since both mean "to mimic", the clue works fine.

I've never heard "monkey" to mean "mimic"!

Even in the biological sense the Chambers synonym works based on clade if not phylum

1) If it's in Chambers its fair game
2) I think we are violating the dictum to not comment on a clue's merits prior to the close of voting. So I will stop.

That's why I put it that way round @60, jono. Apes are in the monkey clade (as are humans), but monkeys aren't in the ape clade.

I was not completely comfortable with ape for monkey either, but as already pointed out, it's in Chambers.

What buddy said @64. Shall we continue after the result, if necessary?
