AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE
 
 
    Yaounde, Cameroon - A pack of about 60 gorillas took a village by
storm to rescue a young gorilla  captured alive by a local hunter, the
weekly paper L'Action reported  yesterday.
    The government-owned paper said the gorillas invaded Olamze on  the
border with Equatorial Guinea last week looking for the infant  gorilla,
who had been taken away earlier in the day by the reputed  local hunter
Ntsama Ondo.
    Shortly before midnight, the gorillas entered the village in  single
file, ignoring the gunshots fired by villagers to scare them  away,
before retiring.
    The next night they came back, and this time, according to
L'Action, they angrily beat on the doors and windows of the  dwellings.
    Faced with the determination of the gorillas to recover the  captive
youngster, and learning who was responsible for the pack's  anger, the
village chief ordered Ntsama Ondo to release his prey.
    "Immediately, the assailants returned to the forest with shouts  of
joy, savouring their victory," the journal wrote.
