Why did they have him walk on all fours? I mean, it's impossible to do, especially when you use you're feet instead of your knees. (Not that i've tried or anything...  ) And there is no way he could move that fast doing that. I know he lived with Gorillas and all, but since he's a human, you'd think he would start walking upright. It's just odd. Ah, the things i think of when i'm slightly bored.

Wasn't he crouching around a little bit like a gorilla? Like, his knees were bent a little since his legs were longer than that of a gorillas? But I guess if you live around Gorillas enough it could happen.
...Not that Jungle Book really proves that to be true or anything. Mowgli was raised by wolves in the original story and came out walking ok...then again he was also raised by "baloo" and he walks straight.
Ok, no more thinking for me. |

Yeah, that's why i'm saying it's impossible to walk like that. Especially when he runs. Good point with Mowgli as well. I think i'll stop thinking as well.

Suuuuuuuuuuuure you haven't - just like none of us have ever tried to do the apple trick. 
I think it just has to do with the gorillas raising him and he just learned how to walk like that. I don't see any reason why he would learn to walk upright if everyone around him was not - babies mimic what they see others doing.

That motto is certainly better than "When in doubt, hurt the bird"!

I like the motto. I'm thinking about changing my avatar to that one, but I just like my evil one so much.
