Oliver the Humanzee (Documentary)

[Randlet]

A few days ago this footage was posted up on youtube claiming it to be from a trail cam of bigfoot.



It was pretty quickly debunked, the video was actually of Oliver, the chimpanzee that walked upright and looked a little different than most Chimps, though through DNA it was proved that Oliver is 100% Chimp.

Below is a documentary of the life of Oliver where the clip from above is from, I'd seen the documentary of TV awhile ago and found it to be pretty moving.

Oliver The Chimp

I watched the whole documentary. It was fascinating to see how Oliver was so different from other chimps, and always was, even from his earliest age -- yet his DNA came back 100% chimp. I wonder if he isn't from a sub-species that isn't known yet, but one that includes bipedal walking as a trait. That would probably provide a reason for why Oliver identified with his human owners more than the other chimps.

Like the giant chimps of the congo, www.guardian.co.uk/science/2007/jul/14/conservation.internationalnews

So cool how chimps from different regions do things differently, it would be amazing to find a group of chimps that all walked upright. all the time.

If memory serves me right, certain groups of chimps walk upright more than others.
