Great info gents!
Apparently the WW1 gorilla propaganda poster was part of the inspiration for the original "King Kong" movie.
Good stuff.

The Mountain Gorrilla had only been discovered and identified in 1902, so this was still a fearsome and unknown creature that was surrounded by much myth during WW1.
