Like all great apes, gorillas have arms that are longer than their legs and tend to walk on all four limbs at certain times â a movement that is called knuckle walking. Adult males are known as 'silverbacks' due to the distinctive silver-colored hair on their backs.
How to Become a Veterinary Technologist or Technician. Veterinary technologists and technicians must complete a postsecondary program in veterinary technology. Technologists need a 4-year bachelorâs degree, and technicians need a 2-year associateâs degree.
A distinction between veterinary technician (vet tech) and veterinary technologist must be made. A veterinary technologist attends school four to five years and is graduated with a B.S. degree in veterinary technology. Because of the more advanced degree, a vet technologist has greater earning potential.
