There was a wonderful chimp named Claudette on Chimp Eden. I wonder if this is the same one. I looked on Google but couldn't find a definitive answer. Thanks for the pic. I love dem chimps.

Apparently their humps flop when they use up the reserve fat stored in them.

@perennialloner,
Have you ever ridden on a camel?
The most difficult part of riding a camel is when you want to dismount, the camels front legs bends to sit, while the hind legs stays put, so you end up at a funny angle trying to balance yourself.

@edgarblythe,
This was doing the rounds here too.

It's not as big as it looks - but Australian huntsman's leg span does max at 15cm (6 inches)

But we can't be too cocky, Asian huntsman apparently max at 30cm (12 inches).


Hey, do you guys have Stick Insects? We had one inside the house for a few days, it kept the huntsman company on the cornice over the bedroom door.

@hingehead,
We have those, which I call walking sticks, but I never knew of any so large.
