Hardbopjazz Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 (edited) This ape in Tel Aviv only walks on it hind legs. No answer can be found. "The Missing Link?" Two weeks ago, Natasha and three other monkeys were diagnosed with severe stomach flu. At the zoo clinic, she slipped into critical condition, said Igal Horowitz, the veterinarian. "I was sure that she was going to die," he said. "She could hardly breathe and her heart was not functioning properly." After intensive treatment, Natasha's condition stabilized. When she was released from the clinic, Natasha began walking upright. "I've never seen or heard of this before," said Horowitz. One possible explanation is brain damage from the illness, he said. Otherwise, Horowitz said, Natasha's behavior has returned to normal. Edited July 22, 2004 by Hardbopjazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Perhaps it is more comfortable for the creature's recovering stomach to walk upright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
