Burrito’s attempts at gymnastics

October 15, 2013 by Debbie

Chimpanzees are excellent climbers, which you may have figured out from some of the blogs we’ve shared. Foxie and Missy stand out to me as particularly acrobatic, with Foxie’s pirouettes and Missy’s firehose sledding. Just check out some of their amazing skills:

Some of the other chimps are not as graceful. You might remember that time Negra awkwardly climbed up to the shaky bridge:

And the other day, Burrito had a less-than-ideal dismount:

Although he doesn’t seem to be a pro gymnast, I give him 10/10 score for cuteness.

    Okay. Speaking for us guys who have lost our agility over the years, I resemble those comments. But I think Burrito wins on the cuteness factor.

    Thank goodness for opposable toes.

    Burrito is a lover not a gymnast
