Someone needs to put " come at me bro" Into the first picture. It would be perfect.
His right arm was swinging and it looked like he was holding something in his left hand, maybe.Leunam said:He doesn't move his arms when he walks. Like he's carrying suitcases.
Except other apes can't lock out the joints of their knees to stand so him walking like that takes way more muscular effort than using his arms as well.mrkgoo said:That's awesome. He,s probably lazy, like, screw this, i'm not using my arms!"

I always thought that Gorilla's might have been able to stand upright and that walking was possible, but I've never seen a video of it before. He made it look so easy too.Grimm Fandango said:I'm not a zoologist but I doubt gorillas have the body structure to walk like this for a long period of time.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Gorilla culture (I'm an expert), but walking in all fours is a huge part of it. It's not like it is with Humans where you can become successful by discovering fire. If you walk around in two legs, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is crawling.Grimm Fandango said:I'm not a zoologist but I doubt gorillas have the body structure to walk like this for a long period of time.

What this means is the Gorilla chicks, after hearing about this, are not going to want to mate with this guy. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but that Gorilla has alienated an entire band of female Gorillas with this move.
Biped Gorilla, publicly apologize and get down on the ground or you can kiss your penis goodbye.

Cow Mengde said:The current theory is that wolves evolved into dogs over night so to speak. It was something a man could witness in his lifetime.
Mystery-white-boy said:You just know all the other gorillas hate him and call him a hipster.
This one?AvidNobody said:This reminds me of that dog thread... Anyone got a link? It's the thread with a dog that looks like a gorilla walking backwards. I can't remember what it's called.

One of the biggest points of criticism of the Patterson footage has been the walk of the figure in the video being too human like for it to be an actual primate
You mean bigfoot?TheListener said:That and the fact that the guy in the suit admitted it was a hoax.
YES.CaramaC said:Apologies its an old one....
2 hours later
I hope he doesn't sit for long periods of time either!Sofo said:Someone should warn him of the possible back problems that walking upright brings.
Hahaha!SimleuqiR said:Next in line

Not a gorilla though.
-edit- Holy shit, look at the size of this Ape. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb-vpmW1n7U
And the guy's face at the end :lol He's like..."Did That Just Happen!"
Oliver possesses a flatter face than his fellow chimpanzees; Oliver was habitually bipedal (before being struck with arthritis), never walking on his knuckles like his chimpanzee peers; and Oliver may have preferred human females over chimpanzee females
Heshinsi said:Just wiki"d Oliver the Chimp:
How did they come to this conclusion? lol
During a December 16, 2006 Discovery Channel special, Janet Berger herself claimed that Oliver was becoming attracted to her when he reached the age of 16.[3] He mounted her and tried to mate with her. After he tried it several times it became apparent that Oliver was a threat to Janet, and had to be sold.
