Bipedal monkey business...

Here's an interesting little movie, it shows a monkey at a Zoo in Israel that has suddenly started walking upright like humans, apparently the poor little creature had a stomach illness that nearly killed it and ever since has been walking around on two legs rather than four.



Apparently its not the first time that this kind of behaviour has been observed, however it does look odd seeing a monkey walking around like this. The devil in me thinks, wouldn't it be fun to taunt fundamentalist creation believers with this, you could claim that here is scientific evidence of a monkey evolving into a man, bet that would prompt a few baffled baptists :). Thinking about it though, I suppose the monkey is lucky that he really is a monkey, if these monkeys behaved like most fundamentalists then chances are that the rest of them would stone him to death for disobeying the wishes of the great invisible gorilla in the sky :)
