6 Foot Gorilla Catches Zookeepers Off Guard Resulting In Rare Footage Spreading Via Internet
Ambam is one of the largest silverback gorillas that resides in Port Lympne. He stands at an impressive six feet tall! Although this isn’t literal for most gorillas, it is for Ambam. Mimicking the way humans walk and stand, he often stands at his full height, walking around the enclosure on two legs. Although it isn’t entirely clear who he learned it from, the Gorilla keeper Phil Ridges believes that he learned it from his father, who also used to stand in this manner.
"Ambam’s father Bitam used to display the same behavior if he had handfuls of food to carry," Ridges said, according to NBC. "Ambam also has a full sister, Tamba, and a half sister ... who also sometimes stand and walk in the same way."
"All gorillas can do it to some extent but we haven’t got any who do it like Ambam and he is quite a celebrity at the park," he continued. "We think he might use it to get a height advantage to look over the wall when keepers come to feed him and standing up can also help him in looking for food generally in his enclosure as it gives him a better vantage point."
