The Mountain Gorilla

The scientific name for the mountain gorilla is “Gorilla gorilla beringei” . Today they are in danger. There are only about 630 mountain gorillas. They live in the rainforest and in the mountains in Uganda in Africa. Mountain gorillas are very big and strong. They have got large heads and small eyes and ears. Their arms are longer than their legs. Mountain gorillas can weigh 180 kilograms and they can be two metres tall. They can live up to 40 years in the wild. Mountain gorillas are vegeterians. They eat a lot of plants and fruit. At night, they make nests to sleep in. They build new nests each night in trees or on the ground. Mountain gorillas live in family groups. The biggest and the strongest adult male gorilla , a silverback, is the leader of the family group. They are called “silverbacks” because the colour of their hair changes to silver and grey when they grow old. They can be aggressive when their family group is in danger. But mountain gorillas are usually very gentle and shy. They hardly ever attack people. If you meet a mountain gorilla, do not move and do not look at it.
