I looked at the gorilla theeth - they look dangerous indeed. But vegetarian. Behind the big front teeth (weapon or tool) you see a nice row of flat roughened grinding teeth. A dog, as I learned at school, has cutting knifes also in the back row. Take your own look. http://home.earthlink.net/~caapi/imag_primates/gorillateeth.jpg Amadeus
