It is only because of poor translation or a typo that we know him as 'Donkey Kong' instead !

I'm pretty sure the story goes that Shigeru Miamoto wanted to give him a name of a different animal so it would be a little more original than Monkey, so he decided to make him a stubborn guy, hence the characteristics of a donkey.(Donkey Kong would later be named Cranky Kong, the new Donkey Kong is the old one's grandson, with the new one's father I suppose being Donkey Kong Jr.)
