I Eufltae lures Ringer-Naturalist By far the largest and most spectacular of the great apes is the manlike gorilla, numbering today less than 10,000. Bulls reach a height of six feet, a weight of 600 pounds, and with bare hands can bend a double barreled shotgun like boiled macaroni. This, and because it lives in Africa's most inacces sible regions, makes it the sub ject of untold numbers of myths and absurd folklore. To dispel the more common notions, here's a Fact vs. Fallacy on the gorilla based largely on a new book, Gorilla Hunter" by Fred Mer- field. Fallacy: Gorillas are immenslv strong, vicious creatures who attack humans without pro vocation. Fact: True he is immensely strong. When frightened he has bent a two-inch tempered iron bar. With a pat of his ereat horny "hand," he can crush a human skull like an eggshell; with a swat, knock a shoulder blade off a man. But by nature he is peace-loving. He never attacks humans deliberately, unless when molested. When cor nered or even wounded, he will ; make every endeavor to get j away. He bluffs: upon several occasions Merfield had them rush I him within 20 yards and then they stopped shortand retreated. But should, a man's courage fail, Merfield adds, then the gorilla will chase him and wreak ter-! rible wounds with "hands" and i nails. Fallacy: Gorillas spend most of their time swinging from 1 trees, a la Tarzan. 1 Fact: Gorilla males seldom I climb trees in fact, large males ! are extremely reluctant to leave the ground. And they never sleep in trees. Fallacy: In rage, gorillas beat their breasts with their fists. Fact: In a typical instance, Merfield reports: "The 'Old Man' stood erect and stared at me, screamed and beat his abdomen (not his chest) with his open hands in a rolling movement . . ." As for the sounds they make, bulls roar and scream; females rarely make vocal sounds; and the babies "bawl exactly as children do." Fallacy: Gorillas like water and swim expertly." Fact: They hate water and seldom cross streams even a few yards wide. Fallacy: Gorillas kill watch dogs and abduct comely village maidens. Fact: They are terrified of dogs. And as for those comely abducted maidens. . .first you'd have to find one in Africa. And next, oh well, can't we leave something for Hollywood's im agination?
