The Heart of the Beast: Eight Great Gorilla Stories

What goes on in the heart of the beast? Gorillas have long been misunderstood as ferocious, unfeeling animals, but we now know them to possess a wide range of emotions: grief, love, fear, anger, sadness. Meet eight gorillas, from sign language-using Koko to Snowflake, the only albino gorilla ever seen, who demonstrate just how much we humans have in common with our primate cousins.
