norkas

Norkas is a fictional species from the animated television series Futurama. They are large, ape-like creatures that inhabit the planet Vergon 6. Norkas are depicted as having a thick, shaggy fur coat and a strong, muscular build. They are known for their immense strength and their territorial nature. In the show, the crew of the Planet Express is hired to transport a group of norkas to an all-female planet, as they are the last of their kind and are being moved to prevent their extinction. The norkas are generally portrayed as unintelligent but not malicious, though their size and strength can make them dangerous. They communicate through a series of grunts and roars. Their diet consists primarily of vegetation. The species was created by Matt Groening, the creator of Futurama. Their appearance is reminiscent of gorillas or orangutans, but with exaggerated features to fit the comedic and science-fiction style of the show. The norkas play a significant role in the episode "Amazon Women in the Mood," where their presence causes several complications for the main characters.
