Video: Chimpanzee riding a Segway

October 19th, 2008 by James

Amazing chimpanzee performer Pan-kun is back! On last night’s episode of Shimura Zoo, he celebrated his 7th birthday by taking a ride on a Segway personal transporter:


Pan-kun impressively managed not to seriously injure himself, but he did have a few close calls!

Segway personal transporter, it’s so easy even the genius chimp Pan-kun can learn to drive it!

Pan-kun rocks!

It’s good to see that he’s back, it’s been a long time :)

Poor chimpanzee.

I wonder if the people who did this would let their four year old child ride such a thing…

That looked like fun.

OMFG, Pan-kun is amazing. This is why we should welcome the other great apes into our society. XD

Pan-Kun is smarter than a four year old kid. Anyway, those things are hardly dangerous. He was obviously having fun riding it.
