He is an extraordinarily large man. Very likely seen as a threat by the gorillas.
From all I’ve seen, Shaq has a heart that matches the size of his body.
Like Shaq. His sense of humor matches his big heart.
Just his height would intimidate a gorilla. They don’t get near that tall.
My husband and I saw Shaq in Toronto YEARS ago. The US Dream team was staying at the 4 Seasons hotel. My husband is 6’5”.
We saw Shaq outside the hotel, I wish I had a picture of my very tall husband standing in front of Shaq looking up at him to say hello. he was dwarfed.
Shaq was with a tiny little girl one night and literally took up the back seat of a Lincoln Town car.
Shaq is enormous, but was as friendly as he could be.
