Actually, in the TV series, you do see various animal pelts around, so at that time in their history anyway, they may have hunted animals for sport....

Michael- No, I won't be going back to that strip, unforunately, for a
few reasons. It was fun and good teamwork, as of course you know
from your work with Neil/Dave, but any future POTA projects I do,
whether that be art or anything else, will be "one-offs" rather than
anything continual. I believe Terry told me that another artist was
interested, but don't quote me on that. I've heard very little about
the project/feedback since Terry released the strips that were
completed. I hope it does continue, Terry wrote a decent story.

Cool. Thanks, Michael. They're actually pretty good. Did Jun

.html I have three of the jun Planing figures, two of them are quite good. Elaine<.html

I recall from urban legend that every great ape has been found to
eat meat except for the Bonobo.

Cows in some barren wasteland fed on animals. Scientists wondered
how the herds survived when at times there was little vegetation.
When they went to study they found bones in bovine poo and
apparently found cows chewing on little animals they had caught. The
borderline between herbivore and carnivore is not as green and red
as vegans would espouse over a bowl of scrambled tofu.

I would conclude that talking apes would eat meat regularly. So much
of language discourse revolves around food. Once "double dare" can
be mumbled, it's only a matter of time before everything that can be
eaten is eaten. As George Carlin said, "how hungry did a man have to
get before he discovered oysters were edible?"

There are Finches on the Galapagos Islands, that because of

the scarcity of food in the La Ninya years have become vampires.

Not only do they feed off open wounds, they will snag a cactus

spine and make their own!  And they normally eat seeds!  If

you're starving you'll eat just about anything!

Jane Goodall:

"Meat is a favored food item among chimpanzees "

"At first, the Gombe chimps fled whenever they saw Jane. But she
persisted, watching from a distance with binoculars, and gradually
the chimps allowed her closer. One day in October 1960 she saw
chimps David Graybeard and Goliath strip leaves off twigs to fashion
tools for fishing termites from a nest. Scientists thought humans
were the only species to make tools, but here was evidence to the
contrary. On hearing of Jane's observation, her mentor Louis Leakey
said: "Now we must redefine tool, redefine man, or accept
chimpanzees as humans."

Also in her first year at Gombe, Jane observed chimps hunting and
eating bushpigs and other animals, disproving theories that
chimpanzees were primarily vegetarians and fruit eaters who only
occasionally supplemented their diet with insects and small rodents."

Up to 6% of the apes (gorilla, orang, chimp) diet is actually meat
in the form of small animals -- mostly ants, termites, and
crickets. The gorillas eat somewhat less meat, while the orangs eat
perhaps somewhat more. Given less vegetation, I don't see what
would keep them from eating more meat. It seems it could be an
easy "evolution" that could happen over a relatively short period of
time. (Say, during a prolonged drought or a locust type
infestation?)

McFarlane also did the kids toys from the WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE
books.

I've read in the letters column of SPAWN where fans have asked why he
hasn't done POTA toys (amongst others) and he says he can only
manufacture what he's able to gain a license to.

stated reason was that POTA and Simpsons are separate licenses both

Genes:

It is said that humans share up to 98.5% of their genetic makeup
with the chimpanzee. How does that compare to other animals?

Humans share three-quarters of their genes with man's best friend,
according to the first genetic blueprint of the domestic dog.

We are somewhere around 68% genetically the same as a moth.

Hey Michael. Next time you feel like not enough is going on in the
PotaDG take a look at what's happening in the other POTA groups. Most
have nothing new for weeks at a time or have finger pointing
arguments about if slavery can apply to animals. I think the PotaDG
is doing just fine. But if you felt the need to do something to stir
up interest.... hint hint wink wink nudge nudge hehehe

Fox and Lucas licensed Cartoon Network to do the new STAR WARS

Tartakovsky's style is awesome and fast paced with a tone that leaves
even adults in awe. How hard would it be for Fox to do some 5 min.
trial micro-episodes of Planet of the Apes in this same fashion? I
think it would be a great way to ease the franchise out of the

Do you think they would have undergorund fight clubs where they would bet on the participants? Elaine

By the way, Jeff. Thanks for sharing this guy's toy reviews. He's
pretty interesting, actually.

How did this thread get started? We are wondering what will happen
to the apes when they have killed off all the humans?

I understand that it isn't totally unknown of for chimps to kill
other chimps. Does anyone know about this? It is odd that the
gorillas in POTA should be the ones to hunt anything, as gorillas in
nature add less meat to their diet.

(Understood, Cougar, that they aren't eating the humans that they
hunt. Just odd that they should be the ones to hunt in the first
place.)

My Brother-in-law works at Suncoast Movie store and has been holding
all the Muppet figures as they come in. Guess I need to let him know
to be looking for these! He hasn't heard anything about when they
will get the Planet of the Apes figures or how soon they can pre-
order.

Gorillas, the Klingons of POTA!

Time Squad did a POTA parody episode only with flies

instead of apes, hitting al the best know quotes and images.

  Gorillas are bigger and stronger than chimps. In an intelligent ape society it would make sense that they would make up the work force. Just as a big guy might be a sensitive soul but he could probably still find work as a bouncer. Maybe the filmmakers made a mistake in portraying most gorillas as "brutes" (the common stereotype) but their occupations are valid ones. Chimps tend to be smarter, they're closer to us than gorillas, so they were stereotyped as intellectuals. POTA2001 probably portrayed this aspect better. Certainly no one is arguing with the portrayal of Thade after that recent chimp attack. Attar is the usual big gorilla but he's a more thoughtful soul than the original POTA gorillas. Orangs are kinda sullen and shy (and scarce) so they are the leaders, sorta special. - - - Jeff

SW and ST both suffer from suckage.

.html I just attended a lecture by a photographer for the New York Times who travels the world photographing primates. She showed a primate intelligence chart that put orangutans at the top. I thought this was funny because it fits with pota. Chimps were second,followed by gorillas. However the individual who created the chart studies orangutans. Elaine<.html

I may be confusing two groups (seems to be going around) but at the
risk of combining topics...

From what I have read recently, this may correlate with the percentage
of the diet that consists of meat?

No, I didn't say "Apes" cartoon, I said "ape cartoon". The "King Kong" cartoon series from 1966 will get a DVD release on Nov. 15 to tie in with the new movie from Peter Jackson (so says www.tvshowsondvd.com ).

I remember that cartoon and its theme song: "King Kong.  You know the name of King Kong.  You know the name of King Kong... "  And I can't remember the rest.  In the cartoon Kong was like a pet dog and was friends with this little boy.  It was pretty silly.
