Gorillas

128 pp. "From Gorilla myths spread by early explorers to modern-day research proving the gorilla's intelligence, Gorillas tells the story of our interactions with the gentlest of the great apes. The studies conducted by George Schaller and Dian Fossey have taught us much about the lives of gorillas in the wild. Gorillas explores their intriguing habits and social behavior as it takes you through a typical gorilla day and presents important conservation issues. Gorillas also discusses gorillas in captivity, such as Koko, who have learned to speak and read. From these animals we have learned that there are far fewer differences between man and ape than previously thought. As you explore the world of Gorillas in this beautifully illustrated book, you will begin to understand the important link between us and these fascinating animals."
