Gorillas are the largest and strongest of the anthropoid apes. The
leader of the herd is particularly powerful and important. He has great
authority over the whole herd. All the other be like him. And naughty
young gorillas obey him too.
Gorillas take good care of each other: they scratch and clean each
others and their childrens furs and help each other in other ways if
necessary. They are even friendly towards people.
But it is not a good idea to be unfair to them. Then they become angry.
Angry gorilla can be as horrible as King - Kong.
How tall and heavy are gorillas?...................
| EXERCISE A young scientist was invited to lunch by some older scientists. There he was asked whether he could distinguish which of the following skeletons was that of a human being, of an anthropoid ape, of an ostrich, of a horse and of a kangaroo. The young scientist was in trouble. He knew that he would be asked questions, but he thought that they would be about mathematics. Therefore he had only practised mathematics at home and knew nothing about skeletons. Please help the scientist. Write beside each skeleton which animal it belongs to.     ............................................................................................................................. |
