About Pongidae
Pongidae, or the pongids is an obsolete primate taxon containing chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans. By this definition pongids were also called "great apes".[1] This taxon is not used today but is of historical significance.[2][3]. The great apes are currently classified as Hominidae.
