How this list was compiled

A list of 91 monkey team names written by Wheel of Teams on 2026-10-02 and filed in four groups: monkey puns, gorillas and other apes, kinds of monkey, and funny names for a busy team. The names are our own work; none was taken from a real team, a company or a product, and any match is a coincidence. No film, cartoon or game ape is named. The monkey and ape words were looked up on 2026-10-02 in three English Wikipedia articles, text under CC BY-SA 4.0: Monkey (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey), Ape (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ape) and Gorilla (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorilla). Under 19 names a line says which monkey it is; each line follows the opening of that animal's English Wikipedia article (for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pygmy_marmoset, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_macaque and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandrill), read the same day. Compared by script the same day with every other list on this site: no name is repeated. Nothing was checked against a trademark register. Licence: own work
