Largest anthropoid ape (7)

I believe the answer is:

gorilla

'largest anthropoid ape' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for gorilla that I've seen before include "Large animal" , "Endangered anthropoid" , "A large powerful African ape" , "Large chest-beating ape" , "Chest-beating primate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Mirror.
