Guest thunderbelly Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 no pretty sure they can't, the open air zoo near me uses wide creeks instead of fences around the chimpanzees. But there are those ones in China that use the natural hottubs (but I think they just walk on the bottom). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Simoman 110 Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Don't think they can swim in general, many zoo's, including chester have moats around the enclosure to help keep them in, however there was an Attenborough programme a few years ago and some chimps were shown crossing a river to feed!!!

Guest CharlieC Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 what is with all these mad questions mate? :11: :11: First hair now chimps, your not going hunting in the zoo with Scoob are you? I bet you have killed everything within a 100 mile radius of your hometown and your now looking for some new sport Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kye 77 Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 There is a MASSIVE difference between being SCARED ofwater and NOT being able to swim... Just because they dont like getting there feet wet, dosnt mean that if you threw one in deep water, it would drown!...IMO, anything with arms and legs, if its finds itself in water, can swim!... Its like running...i cant run that far, but when you have the Old Bill after you, you can keep running all night if you have to... Kye,.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
