Chimp & See Talk

Chimps or gorillas?

  • jwidness by jwidness moderator

    Looks like a group of three in ACP0000kzw ACP0000l03 ACP0000l06 (previews all terrible, sorry). Not much to see, and based on what else was found at SW (i.e. only the one chimp, but a number of gorillas), I would have said gorilla. But for just a second you can sort of see the body outline in the last video and it looks too slim for gorilla to me. The head seems a bit small too.

    Really foggy view but I think you're right about the head being too small and it looks too flat for a gorilla. It looks like a chimp to me in ACP0000l06 when it turns at the last of the clip.

    i agree looks very slim, could be a chimp but its really hard to tell

    I'd say chimp because of the slimness, movement and the light face, but really hard.

    I'd say chimp. Body proportions, plus compare the lighter face to the solid dark faces of the gorillas here: ACP0000f67 The distance isn't the same, but I don't think that's a factor here.

    With five(ish) votes for and none against, I went ahead and tagged them chimp. If someone wants to tag ape (or something else) instead, feel free to remove mine. : )
