Gorilla Prefers to Walk Like a Man

Amid news that our ancestors left Africa much earlier than we previously thought, another African primate's human behaviour is making waves online.
Meet Ambam, a 21-year-old Silverback Western Lowland gorilla at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park in the English city of Kent, who has become an overnight viral video star.
The cause of his new-found celebrity? An upright walking style that's all too human. Check out the video below to see for yourself.

Ambam has been walking like this for as long as his trainers can remember, according to the Toronto Star. He's following in his father's footsteps, who also walked upright. Ambam's two sisters have the gift too, though neither are as skilled at it.
