The Great Apes

[Shadow]

I found lately one interesting book with a good description showing how easily nonsense can start to spread and easy to see how it could be soon "true story" in conversations, something like "safari guide told me and those guys for sure know what they talk about, they know the forests and animals...."  They for sure can know forests and a lot of animals, but... they can also talk a lot of nonsense. And still they can be professional guides. 

I put here two photos from screenshots. This is about gorillas and lions. There are some imaginary stories concerning gorillas and big cats, with descriptions from fairy tales, not from this world. When reading this text it´s easy to see how easily exciting stories can start to live just like in the past. Many hunters and animals trainers for sure knew a lot, but with more and more real information nowadays, we can see where they added some "extra" to things :)
