| "I'll never forget it. In that mud hole were
the marks of four great knuckles where the gorilla had placed his hand on the ground.
There is no other track like this in the world--there is no other hand in the world so
large.... As I looked at the track I lost the faith on which I had brought my party to
Africa. Instinctively I took my gun from the gun boy." Carl Akeley, 1923 |
