1960.
The 3rd investigation of Japan Monkey Centre Institute and Museum of Primatology. Itani carried out independently. While this year Congo became independent, disturbance happened. I investigated in the woods of Kayonza of the Uganda southwest. It was only 2 times that I met with the gorilla during 40 days of the investigation. This is the first time. One group of a gorilla was seen on the opposite slope of the valley of Ihizo. The huge male of black and white is visible to the central upper right. At this time, it confronted each other over 6 hours. A valley and ridge suited Kayonza in all directions. I got tired out with crime and down all day long.
