I could also tell you a story about how we dressed my buban up in a gorilla costume, tied bricks to his feet, and threw him into college creek to prove that gorillas cannot swim. But were I to do that it would amount to a confession and could be used against me in court of law. We definitely do not want that. No, gorillas can t swim. I saw it on the discovery channel a long time ago.
Humans are the only primates that can swim.
In fact, according to this anonymous freshman, most primates have hair that grows both up and down, whereas us humans have hair that only grows down. This is a result of an evolutionary change that makes us more hydrodynamic. This is evidence of my long held belief that I don t have a girlfriend because I can t swim. The discovery channel has never once spoken about my buban. As a variation of the question, I propose asking whether gorillas can float.
