　　Lesson 5 No Room in the Ark 諾亞方舟無容身之地

The gorilla is something of a paradox in the African scene. One thinks one knows him very well.

For a hundred years or more he has been killed, captured, and imprisoned, in zoos. His bones have been mounted in natural history museums everywhere, and he has always exerted a strong fascination upon scientists and romantics alike. He is the stereotyped monster of the horror films and the adventure books, and an obvious (though not perhaps strictly scientific) link with our ancestral past.(暫不提供全文)

Their ideas vary。人們對他的觀點相差很大。
