. The American natural history : a foundation of useful knowledge of the higher animals of North America . Natural history. GOEILLA AND CHIMPANZEE arms and chest are of enormous proportions.1 The countenance of the Gorilla is very ugly and repulsive, and the shape of its skull is much farther from that of man than are those of the chimpanzee and orang-utan. Its skin is black, and the hair of full-grown specimens is grizzly gray. The Gorilla inhabits only a very small area in West Africa, directly on the equator, between the Gaboon and Congo Rivers, and extending only two hundred miles back from the coast. It is very shy, and so difficult to approach in those dark and tangled forests that very few white men ever have seen one wild. One of the most remarkable specimens ever secured was the huge old male killed and photo- graphed by Mr. H. Paschen, a German trader, near Tsonu Town, German Cameroon country, two hundred and forty miles north of the equa- tor, in 1901. This animal, photographed in the flesh, with three natives beside it for compari- son, to show its immense size, was shot in a tree, without difficulty or danger. It measured 66 inches in height, its chest, arms and shoul- ders were of gigantic proportions, and its weight was estimated at 500 pounds. Twelve men were required to carry it from the jungle to the village, where it was photographed. On account of the sullen, sulky disposition of the Gorilla in captivity, only one of the four or five young specimens that have been brought to Europe has lived longer than about eighteen months. They sulk, often refuse food, will not exercise, and die of indigestion. Up to this date (1903) only one live Gorilla, and that a tiny infant, has ever landed in the United States; and it lived only five days after arrival. Show- men sometimes label a baboon "Gorilla, " or "Lion-Slayer, " and it is well to remember that the Gorilla has no tail whatever. The Chimpanzee2 is about one-third smaller than the go
