The gorilla is the largest of the apes, native to the forests of central Africa. Figuratively a gorilla connotes a big and brutish man or a thug. With other primates like Orangutans representations of the Gorilla are common in popular culture in the United States of America - with the full range of electronic media having gorillas as mascots, gorillas behaving like humans, and humans behaving like gorillas.
