   All of which suggests he's hardly the only outsider to get stranded in   
   Africa - Orangutans live in Sumatra and environs.   
      
   But then I recall watching an old Tarzan or similar b/w movie at the   
   LASFS and noticing the presense of a large Giant Anteater in what I   
   gather was meant to represent Africa, so maybe there's this hidden   
   tunnel between Africa and South America...
