Chalicotherium has convergent characteristics with a large suite of extant mammals that have taken over many different niches that were not necessarily occupied by Chalicotherium or any of its contemporaries; the world is not exactly the same as it was then and some of those niches may not have even existed at that time. These are not, though, the topics presented in most of the fact files. The sites do mention the convergent evolution, just not always the the extant analogies. The best site for all around discussion of Chalicotherium is About which does make mention of gorillas.
