In many jungle films, the gorilla is seen as a fierce hunter, much like the leopard or the lion. In recent years, many investigators of forest life have painted a far different picture. Gorillas do not fight except in self-defense, and they do not eat meat when it is fed to them in zoos. Despite their powerful bodies and frightening appearance, they seem to be quite peaceful.
    在很多叢林的影片中，大猩猩被看作兇猛的獵手，很像美洲豹或獅子。最近幾年，很多森林生物的研究者們描繪了一副完全不同的畫面。除了自衛(wèi)，大猩猩是不會打斗的。在動物園里，它們不吃人們喂的肉，盡管他們有強大有力的身軀和嚇人的外貌，但它們似乎也相當安靜。
