Gorilla (animal)

Gorillas are apes known to inhabit jungles and rainforests. They are incredibly intelligent creatures and have many features similar to that of Man. They tend to live in family groups dominated by a single male, and roam through their territory looking for food. It is incredibly dangerous to attack a gorilla head on, as they are both incredibly fast and strong, and when provoked are known for their ferocious and savage attacks.

I can see the silvery hair of the gorilla's back come into view amongst the dense foliage of the jungle's underbrush; the beast huffing and roaring as it approaches our position. Each of us sit quietly amongst the lower canopy, careful not to alert our ferocious prey to our presence in hopes to catch it by surprise, and in our trap. With bait bundled in my hands, I extend my arms above the forest floor where a net lay conspicously, its ends tied around the neighboring trees to pull the gorilla high into the air once it takes notice of our bait and comes towards us. I just have to make sure to not miss the trap, or worse, be seen.
