Gorilla Fight!!!! |
And sorry to be misleading with my opener, but it's a gorilla. A silverback gorilla. Not an organutan. Had to work in a previous and somewhat related post.
"Ambam's father Bitam used to display the same behavior if he had handfuls of food to carry," animal keeper Phil Ridges said. "Ambam also has a full sister, Tamba, and a half sister ... who also sometimes stand and walk in the same way... We think he might use it to get a height advantage to look over the wall when keepers come to feed him. Ambam can also carry a lot more food if he stands and uses both hands, and walking on two feet also means he doesn't get his hands wet when it's raining."
Twenty-one year old Ambam is 485 pounds. Imposing, yes?
Enjoy!
