8. Pan-kun’s exciting health check (original air date: October 20, 2005)

I’m not really sure if a Chimpanzee would need to go to a human hospital for a check-up, but it is fun to watch Pan-kun get a CAT scan.

ok, so I noticed that the scientific name for chimps is “pan troglodyte”.

Could this be why he is named Pan-kun? If it is, then Pan-kun’s trainer deserves cute points AND nerd points for giving him a cute and scientifically appropriate name.
