High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! 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.The French sculptor Emmanuel Fremiet won a medal of honour at the Salon of 1887 for his masterly "Gorilla Carrying off a Woman". Although praised in its time, this work now evokes ridicule from some observers for its depiction of a gorilla abducting a nude woman, presumably with the intention of raping her - something totally alien to actual gorilla behaviour. Nonetheless, this act has somehow caught the public's imagination as witnessed by the repeated popularity of the King Kong themee.
