These were some of the better ones I could find. If you want to search for more, the names of the ones in captivity I know of are Ashes, Guru and Jambo. Feel free to post other bald animals in here too. I love these guys!

Anyone got the balls to shave a gorilla for me?
......aside from my own weird passtimes it would be great to see their muscle structure too

i love that link... he's comparing average chimps to body builders and world class atheletes, and then saying that chimps aren't 5x as strong.
maybe not to world class atheletes and bodybuilders, but to average humans? quite possibly.
Apes have a much longer digestive tract than humans do, and they need room to put it, hence a larger belly! Just think of a gorilla, they're primarily vegetarian so they need space to break down all that vegetable matter.
Though I have to admit, I'm quite fond of leeks as well
Great share, Sputch.
About the bellies, I remember reading once that when we humans started cooking our own food, we essentially externalized a bodily function, and it affected the length of our intestines. Can't remember where I saw it, and it could be BS, but that could explain the difference.
She has since passed away, not sure if there are any others out there but can you imagine a mature male? Yoinks!!
Actually those aren't all her so some might be male (she was just the one with the glasses :P)
