Largest of the apes (7)

I believe the answer is:

gorilla

(Other definitions for gorilla that I've seen before include "A large powerful African ape" , "Endangered anthropoid" , "Large chest-beating ape" , "Big ape" , "Primate - sturdily-built aggressive man" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
