The Mighty Gorilla

Gorillas are interesting animals that mainly live in forests in tropical Africa. Few animals have sparked the imagination of man as much as the gorilla, the largest of the living member of the ape family.

What do Gorillas look like?

The gorilla has a shiny black back and they can grow up to 6 feet high, 1.8 meters tall. They have a thick body,  large head and fat muscles. They can live till 50 years old. They use hands to explore and to eat with.       

How they behave?

Gorilla are nice and friendly and won't hurt anybody unless they feel like they are in trouble. They play together with their friends and family. They spend time grooming each other and cuddle their babies.

 

What do they eat?

They need a lot of food. Gorillas mainly have a vegetarian diet, feeding on stems, bamboo shoots and fruits. Western Lowland Gorillas like to eat ants and break open termite nests to eat the larvae.

Where do they live?

Mountain Gorillas live in Rwanda, Uganda and the  Republic of the Congo. They like green, volcanic mountains which have a lot of food on them to eat. Lowland Gorillas live in the forests of Central and Western Africa in Angola and Cameroon.

Closing paragraph

I think that gorillas are cute and don’t harm anybody so we should look after them. That's why people shouldn't kill gorillas in the forest or cut down trees.
