No, I think that is a gorilla. (note - I am not a primatologist)

Or alternatively, they could be hybrids, the product of gorillas mating with chimpanzees.
This would be funny, I think.

Also, they don't seem to have been named yet - perhaps we should make a list of suggestions to send to the zoologists?

It's a monkey, not a robot.

does anyone know if Chimpanzees can actually mate with Gorillas and produce young? it's the first I've heard of it.

Chimpanillas. Obviously.

Ooh, Chimpanilla is a good name. The only bad thing is that it might make them more tempting to the bush meat trade - chimpanilla sounds delicious.
