12. I have heard of Coprophilia...
but not coprophagia. How cool. I used to have an iguana, but it never did that. When Lizzzard Taylor was pissed at me, he/she'd snap me with her tail. That was one mean lizzzard!

XXXOOO

15. I watched him/her produce it,
then scoop it up, and shove it into its mouth. It then rolled the poop up into a little ball in its mouth, and spit it back out into its hand, then began snacking on it. I took the picture. I know what that dirty, dirty gorilla was doing. ;-)

22. I saw a gorilla at the Bronx Zoo doing something similar with vomit
It was vomiting a neat (albeit thoroughly disgusting) pile of puke into its hand, snacking on it, then, with a mighty shake of its head, vomiting it up again. And it did this over and over and over much to the horror and delight of everyone watching. This must be a gorilla hobby. What other purpose does it serve than entertainment?

11. Ask you anything??? Wheeee...
Ok, if that gorilla was representative of most of the primate population, should we legislate against shit-eating in a public venue?

I know I can't smoke in a restaurant or bar anymore, so should that gorilla be able to indulge in his vice in public???

Another question: how many molecules are found in the average bullfrog?

XXXOOO

p.s. great pic, you should see what the chimpanzees do when they see women (eeeeeeekkkkk)

16. chimps and women?
no shrub jokes for me. But dolo amber made friends with one of the chimps at the zoo, as did I. Her friend responded to various faces she made, and hand gestures. Was pretty cool. Mine just followed me around the glass, and put his/her hand up to it when I did, which evoked a startlingly girlish "awwwwwwwwwwwwwww!" from me.
