Dian Fossey, primatologist and conservationist
“I shall never forget my first encounter with gorillas. Sound preceded sight. Odour preceded sound… The air was suddenly rent by a high-pitched series of screams followed by the rhythmic rondo of sharp pok-pok chestbeats from a great silverbacked male….”
