first off it was a ape not a monkey, i think nitendo use king kong and changed it to donkey kong. i had no idea why they use donkey. Donkey kong is most likey a gollia because of his fearutes and the "kong" in his name

It's a ape, Donkey is used to convey a sense of stubborness and Kong is used to invoke an image of a gorilla.
