"Alive" Chimpanzee — So Real, It's Unreal! Hollywood "F/X" animatronics.
I barely know what to say, but this is a product offered by Sharper Image. Could this possibly explain some of the emmanations from the current administration?




  • Amazing "Alive" Chimpanzee is a fully animated, life-size bust of the real animal.
  • "Alive" Chimpanzee can see, hear and feel in ways that allow him to interact intelligently with you, your family, your guests...and with baffled strangers.
  • Soulful eyes track movements using infrared "radar" vision; his ears have stereoscopic sound sensors; his skin reacts to contact with touch sensors all around.
  • Four distinctive emotional moods include "Curious," "Happy," "Fearful" and "Feisty."
  • Override his "natural" autonomous mode by using the wireless controller to communicate specific commands as far as 30 feet away.

2. It doesn't look real (genuine) to me.
But it does have more resemblance to a humanoid than bush.

3. You know
I bet someone will take this thing apart, and put on a "Bush skin" on it and a new audio.
