大猩猩与管理员的自拍照火了！原来我们可以这样相处

最近，一张母猩猩和公园管理员的“自拍照”在网上火了。

在照片中，一名黑人男子正举着镜头自拍。不过，他的身后还冒出两只黑猩猩：一只双足站立侧身看向镜头，另一只可能是“担心”被男子挡住，还稍稍将上半身和头前倾，把脸露了出来。

"Also, it's no surprise to see these girls on their two feet either -- most primates are comfortable walking upright for short bursts of time," it added.

“此外，看到她们双脚站立也无需惊讶，因为大多数灵长类动物都能在短时间内直立行走。”
