There are no gorillas in Asia


Orangutans would've made more sense.

You do realize this is an alternate universe right?

reply

It's an animated film, with its main audiences being kids. It's not really important as long as it's not too obviously wrong, for example penguins.

reply

But animals doing Martial Arts is totally acceptable. Oh you.

reply

No, but seeing as how the movie did a consistent job of only having Asian animals appear in it, it was weird to see gorillas.

reply

Maybe Lord Shen got them from Africa.

i can't believe people are still using the "it's only a movie" excuse ... the kung fu panda movies are obviously taking a lot care of getting the details right, so yeah, i though it was pretty strange to see gorillas, too.

reply



And as has been pointed out Shen was in exile he may have brought the gorillas back from wherever he was in hiding

Try using your imagination sheesh

There are also no Rhinos or Crocodiles either, so what?.

reply

Actually there are asian rhinos and crocodiles. The closest species of rhino is mostly in India but their range comes real close to China. It's historical range was all over south east Asia. The Javan and Sumatran rhino had historic ranges very near China as well, but are now isolated to tiny areas in Indonesia and Malaysia. The Chinese Alligator is now restricted to the lower Yangtze river in China but probably had a much greater range back in the day....

The guy supposedly was ran out of china. who knows where he has travelled during that time and what companions he may have picked up. it appeared that the only gorillas was the ones working for him.
