THE GORILLA, 3 
Gorilla ever attacks man without provocation. ‘Leave Njina alone, they say, 
‘and Njina leave you alone.’ But when the Gorilla, surprised while feeding 
or asleep, is suddenly brought to bay, he goes round ina kind of half-circle, 
keeping his eyes fixed on the man, and uttering a complaining, uneasy cry. 
GORILLA.—( Tvoglodytes Gorilla). 
If the hunter shoots at him, and the gun misses fire, or if the ape is wounded, 
he will sometimes run away ; sometimes, however, he will charge, with his 
fierce look, his lowered lip, his hair falling on his brow. He does not, how- 
ever, appear to be very agile, for the hunters frequently escape from him.
