Verso: Mountain Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla beringei) Of all living animals the gorilla appears to be most nearly like man. The adult males may reach a weight of 500 pounds. Their strength is tremendous and they are dangerous when enraged. Terrestrial in habit, they feed on fruits and herbage. The gorilla pictured here is in a clearing in the dense rain forest of the Kivu Mts., Eastern Belgian Congo. Akeley African Hall. Giant Post Card. The American Museum of Natural History
