Chimp and Gorilla populations being devastated by the common cold 12:57 - May 3 with 3167 viewsStokieBlue

It seems that populations of chimps and gorillas are being hugely affect by the common cold caught from tourists who don't follow the rules:

It some regions it accounts for more deaths than habitat loss or poaching which is horrible given it could be easily prevented by people keeping their distance.

In happier great ape news, an Orangutan has been seen treating it's own wounds in the wild using herbs for the first time:

...Cuddles (although technically he was an ape) Keith Harris' mate.

From memory he used to sniff a lot, maybe he had a cold?

He didn't like Orville.

Seems some chimps even have internet access these days.

Interesting studies, Stokie. Ta!

....why was the chimp in Tarzan called "cheetah"?

Surely he should have been called "Chimp".

It must have been really confusing for him and all the other animals, particularly of there were any cheetahs around.

Mindboggling stuff.
