translation of a treatise in Punic by Hanno, a Carthaginian.]
(Zo["o]l.)
A large, arboreal, anthropoid ape of West Africa. It is
larger than a man, and is remarkable for its massive skeleton
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.

| | Definition: | | Seeing a gorilla in your dream, suggests that you may be too "over the top" in your behavior. Perhaps you are compensating for your rigidity and stiffness in your waking life. Alternatively, the gorilla symbolizes your primitive impulses, wild nature and repressed sexual energy. |
