Silverback gorilla teaches himself to walk upright on two legs

Ambam, a silverback gorilla at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park in Kent, England, has captivated animal enthusiasts worldwide with his unusual ability to walk upright on two legs, much like a human.Standing six feet tall and weighing 34 stone, Ambam’s human-like stride has made him a viral sensation and a source of fascination for zoo visitors and the internet alike.

What makes Ambam’s upright walking even more remarkable is that he reportedly taught himself this skill without any external training.According to zoo scientists, Ambam began mimicking the movements of his zookeepers, and over time, developed the ability to balance and walk on two legs with ease.

His natural curiosity and intelligence as a silverback gorilla likely played a significant role in this unique behavior.Ambam’s human-like stroll offers a rare glimpse into the adaptability and ingenuity of gorillas. Walking upright is not a common behavior for these great apes, as they primarily rely on their knuckles to support their movement.

However, Ambam’s ability highlights the incredible capabilities of gorillas to learn, observe, and mimic behaviors from their surroundings. Ambam isn’t just a viral internet star—he’s also an ambassador for conservation efforts.
