Gorillas don't typically walk upright unless they have to, and for only a brief amount of time(like when trying to a void a puddle of water). Tamba the Gorilla is an exception, and its a trait that runs in the family, as her dad and brother did it as well

Gorilla skull question
I just looked at pictures of gorilla skulls and I noticed that they have a massive amount of space reserved for something on top of their skull. I'm guessing this space is for huge muscles? What do those muscles do?
