Let’s talk physiology! A frequent question we receive as keepers is, how good are gorillas at jumping? And the answer is they aren’t, really. Looking at Floyd, we can see why. His forearms are longer than his hind legs, meaning these animals are built better for climbing than jumping. Seeing him out on habitat definitely shows that!
