GENEVA - The most common type of gorilla is now "critically endangered," one step away from global extinction, according to the 2007 Red List of Threatened Species released Wednesday by the World Conservation Union.

The rest can be read here, if interested.

I'm sorry to hear about your family, how are you taking the news?! :D

So, wait...Is Zero a gorilla, an ape, or a monkey?...I don't remember what all the differences are



I think I like the sound of the word 'gorilla' best, though...haha...I have no idea why...Seems more fierce or something...In my mind, it kinda breaks down like this:

Monkey - Small, playful, silly, fun...Has a prehensile tail

Ape - Big, dumb, oafish, lazy, slow...No tail

Gorilla - I always get the image of a large black animal with dripping fangs bared in a huge open mouth (Must have seen this image somewhere, a movie case or poster perhaps?)...No tail

Well, I guess the descriptions you have his characteristics fit under the monkey, and ape pretty good. Are you talking about FlayedOne's avatar? :D

OH...I didn't think of that...That's a pretty good example, but I've held the perception for longer than he's been around :)

Flayed's avatar is Gmork from The NeverEnding Story. Its a wolf, if I remember correctly.

btw, Zero exhibits all the symptoms of all 3 categories. I think his granpappy was a gorilla, who gave birth to his pappy, an ape...who in turn went on to get laid with a monkey...and thus our own beloved Zero was born.

That should explain the genus and species quite nicely.:D

Oh DUH...You're right...It's been so long since I've seen it...But, it has that same kinda feel to it that I was trying to describe

[neverending]

Gorillas are apes.

That's what I was trying to remember...If one was a species and one was a genus or family, or something...I can't remember how that goes...Or how chimpanzees fit in there.....or baboons...

look at yourselves! You people just kill and create extinction without thought! If the ferrets become extinct so help me GOD I will rip all of your testicles out! You here me!

















P.S - I think he's a monkey, related to gorillas.

Well some of here don't have testicles, I mean I do but they are very small almost peanut size, maybe BB's. But maybe you like grabbing men's junk who knows?! :D So what are you going to do to the females?
