While our simian cousins can also know sign language, My ASL Dictionary sticks with a primate with human hands. A cartoon of Peter Tork, the actor, musician, and member of the television pop band the Monkees, shows the ASL hand sign for MONKEY.
With pursed lips, the clawed 5 hands scratch the sides of the torso twice, like the paws of an excited monkey.
