Genius Chimpanzee Pan-kun joins his friend Ken Shimura for some photo-taking and Japanese sweet potatoes [watch out, they're hot!]:

[This segment is the first part of a series that aired during a two-hour Shimura Zoo special last week. Those of you who understand Japanese probably noticed that the video says this is Pan-kun's last trip. It may be true that Pan-kun will not be going on trips into the outside world anymore, he will still be making plenty of television appearances. Future Pan-kun segments will be filmed on the grounds of Pan-kun's home. He won't be able to ride trains or go to udon restaurants, but he'll still be able to take part in wacky experiments involving slow motion, house thieves, and evil twins!]
