I'm not sure  is more frightened, me or the female gorilla(大猩猩）that suddenly appears out of nowhere. I'm walking on a path in the forest in the Central African Republic. Unexpectedly, I'm face-to-face with the gorilla, who begins screaming at  top of her lungs. That makes her baby scream, and then a 400-pound male appears. He screams the (loud)of all. The noise shakes the trees as the male beats his chest and charges toward me. I quickly lower myself, ducking my head to avoid (look) directly into his eyes so he doesn't feel(challenge).

My name is Mireya Mayor. I'm a (science)who studies animals such as apes and monkeys. I was searching these three western lowland gorillas I'd been observing. No one had seen them for hours, and my colleagues and I were worried.

    When the gorillas and I frightened each other, I was just glad to find (they) alive. True to a gorilla's unaggressive nature, the huge animal (mean)me no real harm. He was just saying: "I'm king of this forest, and here is your reminder!" Once his message was delivered, he allowed me  (stay)and watch.
