Ebony walking behind Krikkit?

  A chimp with a curled right hand and bent back walks across in the background. (Krikkit is in the foreground) As he exits left we see his elongated bent back and his bent legs and it seems to me to be the characteristic posture, shape, and walk of Ebony. No good preview stills of his exit but easier to see in the clip. Maybe too far away to be positive, but I suspect it's him.

  Yes, that also what I am seeing: curled right hand, not used while walking, prominent brows (briefly, but clearly seen in the video) and the even back coloration fits, too. The white spot on the shoulder could be a leaf. That mark we did not see before, I think (the other white spot was on the other side of the back (right shoulder).

  I agree, I was thinking the white spot was a leaf also and not a permanent scar.

  I agree he is Ebony, I will add this video and a picture to the list (the thing in the shoulder seems more a leaf, because is very "bright/light", more superficial that a scar)

  Great find!
