Gorilla
King Kong still rules our imagination, but watching our closest relatives in the wild reveals a gentler giant. Gorillas are the shyest and, sadly, the rarest of the great apes.
The mountain gorilla is running out of a place to live. The low-land gorilla, familiar in many zoos, may share that fate. America's Dian Fossey , and John Aspin all here in Britain are, like many others, endeavouring to dispel the apathy and ignorance that shrouds these intelligent and magnificent creatures.
