The anatomy of the Gorilla is poorly studied and published, most often in a partial or incomplete manner. In the second half of the19th century, AUZOUX a french physician built anatomical models in papier‐mâché which were internationally spread. He realized a real‐sized model of a female Gorilla after a dissection of its own. He chose aesthetic aspects as the grasping of branches and a muscular representation on the lefts side versus an osseous one on the left. This model is really a scientific document as it recorded the name, function and innervation of the muscles on their hidden parts. These data remains unique. This model was non colored; several known other ones were colored. The production was probably very limited.
