Several voung Gorillas have been taken but did not long survive contact with Man. The artist presents the animal as it is seen in its native forest with its terrible face, huge canine teeth, broad shoulders, great chest and immense hands, intently alert that no enemy may surprise it, and prepared for any emergency.
