Zoology: Bones

From the male Chimpanzee Skeleton, SC-003. The chimpanzee is native to the rainforests of central and western Africa. Chimpanzees live in social communities that can number from 20 to 100 individuals. Chimpanzees are omnivores, dining on a variety of fruits, plants, insects and small vertebrates. The chimpanzee pelvis and femur are built to navigate across ground in a quadrupedal knuckle-walking movement. While able to stand upright and walk for a short distance, the shape of the pelvis and positioning of the attached muscles cause the chimp to sway from side to side in an inefficient bipedal gait.

If you have a preference of right or left side, let us know. Otherwise, we will choose.
