Pan-kun Rescues a Photograph

October 8th, 2007 by James

After enjoying a trip with Ken Shimura, genius chimpanzee Pan-kun finishes up his “farewell to the outside world” trip by going with James to buy Shimura a special present — a picture frame. It sounds like a pretty simple task, but disaster strikes and they are forced to perform some rescue work [with lots of melodramatic fun]:

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

I’m not really sure what was with all the tears, considering the fact that Pan-kun will still be appearing on TV…

[This segment is the final part of a series that aired during a two-hour Shimura Zoo special last week [If you haven't seen them, watch part 1 and part 2]. 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!]

that bridge in the second video is pretty cool, is that a common design or pretty rare?

Pan is the man, I mean really he shows that monkeys really can use their brains. I wish I had a monkey like that
