Allegedly an African word.In its inmost recess was an island similar to that formerly described, which contained in like manner a lake with another island, inhabited by a rude description of people. The females were much more numerous than the males, and had rough skins: our interpreters called them Gorillae. We pursued but could take none of the males; they all escaped to the top of precipices, which they mounted with ease, and threw down stones; we took three of the females, but they made such violent struggles, biting and tearing their captors, that we killed them, and stripped off the skins, which we carried to Carthage: being out of provisions we could go no further. [Hanno, "Periplus"]Of persons perceived as being gorilla-like, from 1884. 【记】gozzila 哥斯拉是电影中大闹纽约的大蜥蜴，这个是大猩猩，也曾在电影中大闹纽约 KingKong，叫金钢
