The Gorilla Hunters is an adventure novel written by R.M. Ballantyne. The story takes place in Africa and follows the journey of a group of hunters who set out to capture gorillas for a circus. The main character, Ralph Rover, is a young man who joins the group on their expedition. Along the way, they encounter various obstacles, including hostile tribes, dangerous animals, and treacherous terrain. The group also learns about the customs and traditions of the African people they encounter. As they continue their journey, they discover that capturing gorillas is not as easy as they initially thought, and they must use their wit and courage to succeed. The Gorilla Hunters is a thrilling adventure story that explores themes of colonialism, cultural differences, and the relationship between humans and animals.Hereupon the monkey uttered a terrific shriek of passion, exposed all its teeth and gums, glared at its adversary like a little fiend, and seizing the branch with both hands, shook it with all its might. The result was, that not only did the coveted bunch of fruit fall to the ground, but a perfect shower of bunches came down, one of which hit Jack on the forehead, and, bursting there, sent its fragrant juice down his face and into his beard, while the parrots and all the other monkeys took to flight, shrieking with mingled terror and rage.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
