The Mighty Gorilla
Gorillas live in dense forests in Africa.Men finds the gorilla fascinating. The gorilla is a primate which is closely related to humanity.


What do Gorillas look like?
The gorilla has a thick trunk with a large head and shiny black hair. It has big muscles and grows up to 6 feet tall. Gorilla lives for up to 50 years. They have big hands they used to explore and investigate.

Diet
Gorilla’s need a lot of food and  they are vegetarian. A  vegetarian is an animal which only eats vegetables. They eat variety plants, wild celery, bamboo, thistles and stinging nettles

Habitat
Gorillas live in dense forests and woodland in Africa.  They live 10,000 feet up in the mountains.  Their whole life is about finding food. Up in the mountains it is  cloudy, misty and cold.

Behaviour
They sleep in nests in trees. They have good eyesight and their nose can smell stuff good and they have small ears, they live in family group. They are gentle and placid. The  leader is the silver back which is the male. They groom one another and they play and graze.  They do not like to be threatened if you threaten them you will possibly die.

Gorillas are very gentle and funny with their family but if a stranger appears and they feel threatened they become protective and aggressive. I think they are a funny animal because when playing they act funny.
