End Credits Scene
In Africa, a group of intelligent, talking gorillas are watching as one gorilla, named Grodd, fights his father to see who will rule the Gorilla Tribe. Grodd manages to defeat his father, cracking his skull and eating his brain to show that he is the new alpha. After this, another gorilla, named Solovar, tries to speak with Grodd.
