Gorilles & grands singes

Thomas, H.B. & Scott, R. Uganda. London : Oxord University Press, 1935, 559 pp. [RBINS/B30663]

Le chapitre XII est consacré à la diversité de la faune : Primates, Carnivores, Insectivores, Reptiles, etc.

Extrait :

"In an area of dark, precipitous forest and sub-alpine zone high on the volcanoes of the extreme south-west dwell a few Mountain Gorillas. Their terrain, a few square miles only in extent, has been declared a sanctuary. There are also a few troops in the Kayonza region, a totally different habitat in which the maximum heights are less than 8,000 feet and there are no bamboos, and where these apes have consequently developed new habits suited to their environment. The Gorilla enjoys both legally and in fact the absolute protection which it deserves."

Pas vraiment d'information sur le gorille en lui-même mais intéressant pour connaître un des pays où il vit.
