Gorillas
Gorillas
are the largest of all the primates. A male gorilla can be 180 centimeters tall
and can weigh 200 kilograms. Gorillas are very strong but they do not often
fight. In fact they are peaceful animals.
Gorillas
live in small family groups of about 15. In a groups there is one strong, older
male, same young males and a few females with their babies. They move slowly
around a large area of jungle eating leaves and bushes.
In
some ways gorillas are very like humans. When they are happy, they laugh and
wave their arms. When they are angry, they beat their chests. When they are
sad, they cry. But they cry quietly, without any tears.
Unfortunately,
people hunt and kill gorillas. They also cut down and burn their trees. There are
now only about 10.000 gorillas left in the world.
