Super smart chimp Pan-kun’s birthday special (videos)
Here are a few videos I recored of genius chimpanzee Pan-kun in action (from last week’s episode of Shimura Zoo):
Clip 1: Ken Shimura takes Pan-kun to an expensive hot springs hotel and gets the largest room. They play a traditional Japanese children’s game in which you must freeze when the person who is “it” turns around. Pan-kun almost masters the game. Afterwards they go to the hot spring and enjoy the hot water.
Clip 2: Pan-kun takes James’ puppies for a walk and runs into various difficulties. He also goes to a bakery and buys a cake.
Clip 3: A sneaky hawk tries to steal Pan-kun’s cake. Afterwards everyone has a party to celebrate Pan-kun’s birthday.
I know it’s retarded, but I’m still impressed with Pan-kun’s feats…

I want a pet monkey!
That was fantastic. Pan-kun rules!
Pan-kun rocks!
Uggh, I hate Pan-kun. His trainer is on hand pointing him in the right direction. Watch more closely and you’ll often see Pan-kun looking off-screen for direction.
At first I thought you were talking about “Pak-kun”, but then I realized it wouldn’t have made much difference even so, what with both being performing monkeys.
That’s so sad. The poor thing looks terrified when he has to go in the hot water!
You’re right. It’s retarded.
But you’re not alone. I know a lot of intelligent, fairly sophisticated, humane, animal-loving people who nevertheless point and laugh when watching Pan-Kun and the little dog, James.
Even if the trainer is off camera giving him commands, it’s still pretty impressive. If the trainer wasn’t there commanding him to do this stuff, we might have a “Planet of the Apes” situation on our hands soon.
Is that the same poor monkey the trainer made sit still while they piled 500 bananas around him?
I bet this is from that dumb-ass Dobutsu Kiso Tenkai on Sunday night. I hate animal shows, especially the Japanese ones
Actually, I think the monkey from Dobutsu Kiso Tenkai is different. Pan-kun only seems to appear on “Shimura Doubutsuen”
I also read Pak-kun at first which made “I know it’s retarded, but I’m still impressed with Pan-kun’s feats…” all the funnier!
