Gerald Iles told me that after WWII he was at a convention for zoo directors and a Dutch zoo director did not want to sit next to Grzimek because he was German. Also as I recall Stalin wanted to create hybrid ape-human soldiers because he thought they wouldn't complain about the food. Take care.

The orang-utan died before it could be attempted, but the Soviets did artificially inseminate two chimpanzees with human sperm, in co-operation with the French and the Pasteur Institute in one of their West African colonies, but no offspring resulted, and that was the end of it. I think that maybe the chimps spontaneously aborted deformed embryos which were microscopic. When an attempt was made to cross a tiger with a leopard the tigress spontaneously aborted the embryos. This has also happened when different species of zebra have been cross bred. I remember the Frankfurt Zoo director (I forget how to spell his name, the one who had the plane painted with zebra stripes. I'm sure you know who I mean. The guy Gerald Iles told me married his own daughter in law.) He wrote in one of his books, probably Serengeti Must Not Die, about rumors concerning chimpanzee-human hybrids coming out of the Soviet Union. I have read that there are gorillas in the wild which do not fit into any recognized subspecies and there has been speculation about gorilla-chimpanzee hybrids.

Very scary to think that there was actually an attempt at such a creature. Similar, in a sense to the insane crossing of felines.<br /><br />Wade BurckWade G.
