I thought they did walk like that! I'm rather dim,

How mad does that look

It is a bit mad

Think Porte Lympne is the zoo I used to take my daughter when I loved down south. Is it pretty close to Dover? If it's the one im thinking of it started by some rich guy who started to keep them in his garden (Big garden) which grew into a zoo. His house is in the middle of the zoo and he is burried there

They normally walk stooped over & use their hands to help them along.

PSML... me too Janey! I thought the same thing lol..

hes standing up so he can see farther, thats why us humans walk upright as we came out of the trees and on to the plains of africa, we needed to stand upright to see distances, predators, game to hunt etc. we also needed our hands free to carry things ,use weapons etc. The humans with the upright stance had an advantage and lived to throw it in its offspring. survival of the genes that make them the fittest. wow

Ahh yeah for a moment there i thought you were talking about oliver the chimp what a champ he was he was spent most of his life in the laboratories he has a hairless face and walks like a man loger arms and legs compared to the average chimp.

Bl**dy hell! Don't let my boss see this,he will give him my job!!

Google humanzee oliver and take a look at him he's pretty impressive.
