Gorillas are the largest and strongest primates in the wild, mainly living in African rainforests. Adult males are usually bigger than females, with a distinctive silver back, called a “silverback.” They have thick black or dark brown fur and gentle eyes that reflect intelligence and deep emotions.
Gorillas live in social groups, closely bonded with their families and other group members. They are gentle, intelligent, can use simple tools, and learn from their mothers and the group. Gorillas display a wide range of emotions, including joy, sadness, love, protecting their young, and community bonding.
They eat leaves, fruits, stems, and sometimes insects, helping disperse seeds and maintain forest ecosystems. Gorillas are a rare species threatened by hunting and deforestation. Protecting them not only preserves nature but also teaches humans about strength, intelligence, and kindness.
