  Gorilla  \Go*ril"la\,  n.  [An  African  word  found  in  a  Greek 
  translation  of  a  treatise  in  Punic  by  Hanno,  a  Carthaginian.] 
  (Zo["o]l.)

  and  powerful  muscles,  which  give  it  enormous  strength.  In 
  some  respects  its  anatomy,  more  than  that  of  any  other  ape, 
  except  the  chimpanzee,  resembles  that  of  man.
