Movement

January 24, 2018 by Anna

In general, the chimpanzees make difficult motion look so simple and easy. Here are just a few of my favorite photos of strength, flexibility, finesse, coordination, speed, and balance.

    This is such a great post! I so enjoy studying each individual’s style of movement and posture. I am wild over Missy’s athletic ability, love her little muscle bound bod and the way she often has only one foot on the ground! That is one of favorite photos of Annie tippy toeing across the twinkling snow, bipedal of course! Annie and Jody seem almost dainty at times. When did We humans loose all this style and grace, flexibility, strength and coordination?!! And chimps can use their lips too! Amazingly Awesome.
