THE GORILLA.—This king of the African forests is found only in the deepest fastnesses of Equatorial Africa (15 degrees north and 15 degrees south of the equator) and no adult of this family has been held in captivity, its great strength and ferocity preventing its capture alive. Several young 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. Unarmed Man, the Leopard and the Crocodile are no match for this formidable creature, before which even the Lion might tremble.
