It's just too bad that this had to happen. It's especially sad because the OSU researcher suspected something like this would have happened. It's just too bad that more care wasn't given to these particular chimps... but I guess that wouldn't be fair either.<BR/><BR/>In general, the whole chimp situation is somewhat sad. If there were any animals that deserved a little bit of humanity, you would think these would be them.Ted Pavlichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15297790411942050417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9453241.post-1141758218026529202006-03-07T12:03:00.000-07:002006-03-07T12:03:00.000-07:00Actually, that brings up an interesting point.Chim...Actually, that brings up an interesting point.<BR/><BR/>Chimps aren't *THAT* big. I mean, compared to a human being, chimps aren't THAT big. However, apparently this large chimp was 300 pounds.<BR/><BR/>Gorillas ARE very big. So I gotta imagine that even an average-sized gorilla will be at LEAST 300 pounds if not a lot more.<BR/><BR/>So when people talk about a "300 pound gorilla," does that really mean a whole lot? Might it be better to revise that number a little upward?Ted Pavlichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15297790411942050417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9453241.post-1141757364757098252006-03-07T11:49:00.000-07:002006-03-07T11:49:00.000-07:00A 300 pound chimp?
