Simka

Smile!

Simka telling the gorillas to smile for the camera^[src]

Simka is a Gorilla, and a famed photographer for the Security Police.

History[]

After the hunt, Simka takes a picture of his brother Marcus, Cerek, and another gorilla colleague, standing over the corpses of the humans they have just killed during the hunt. As such, he is the first ape we hear speaking ("Smile!").

Notes[]

In the 2011 novel Conspiracy of the Planet of the Apes, it is revealed that Marcus and Simka are half-brothers, sons of Digby.
'The Ape' promo newspaper used in publicity at the time refers to him as "famed Ape cameraman Simka, on an assignment with the Gorilla guards".^[1]
