Fierce,
unpredictable, and never before trained, the GORILLA has
long been a challenge to man. Paul DuChailu the famous
explorer, who was the first to capture a GORILLA, quoted in
his book, "ADVENTURES in EQUATORIAL AFRICA". 1890, "Several
young GORILLAS, which my men captured alive, and remained
with me for short periods till their deaths . . . in no case
could any treatment of mine, kind or harsh, subdue these
little monsters from their first and lasting ferocity and
malignity.
The word GORILLA
is synonymous with excitement, danger of King Kong and
gigantic beasts, long since extinct.
The word GORILLA
will mean crowds for you show.
Benjamin B.
Burbridge stated in his book, "GORILLA TRACKING AND
CAPTURING THE APEMAN OF AFRICA". "Besides taking
motion pictures of wild GORILLA, I had captured many of
their young, which were savage, unrelenting, and
uncompromising in their attitudes."
Young GORILLAS,
unlike most other apes, are unhappy in captivity, likely to
turn their faces to a corner and die within a few days.
Jack Badal has overcome these problems and obstacles in
accomplishing the incredible.
