GORILLAS

The Gorilla is perhaps the most interesting member of the ape family. Scientists have been studying these creatures for the past 30 years. We now know that they have many habits that make them similar to the human race. Some specialists have even proven that they can communicate through a primitive form of sign language, that has included several hundred words ! Though many people are afraid of these intimidating looking apes, they will only attack if they feel they most protect their family. The fact is that there are less than 15000 apes left in both east and west africa.
