Gorillas Jill Caravan
New Line Books 2005 1577171330 / 9781577171331 Hardcover New Copy
Gorillas have fascinated humans for centuries. They are one of our nearest relatives in the animal kingdom, yet they are often misunderstood, with an entirely undeserved reputation for being aggressive. Far from resorting to attack, they are the gentle giants of the wild, acting as loving and nuturing parents to their young, and even exhibiting protective behavior in some encounters with people. Genetically they are remarkably similar to humans; like us they are members of the Primate order and their anatomy resembles ours. But more than physical traits link humans and gorillas: perhaps more so than any other nonhuman animal, gorillas are highly intelligent, playful, capable of emotions, and can even laugh and smile. With spectacular photographs and informative text, this volume brings gorillas vividly before us, demonstrating such traits as:
* A sense of community involving mutual caring and cooperation
* Loving and nurturing care for the young
* Playfulness and the creation of games
