Gorillas are some of the most powerful and striking animals, not only for their size and force, but also for their gentle human like behaviour.

"When you realize the value of all life, you dwell on what is past and concentrate more on the preservation of the future."

Dian Fossey


Gorillas are some of the most powerful and striking animals, not only for their size and force, but also for their gentle human like behaviour.

There are four gorilla subspecies:

They are classified by the IUCN Red List as Critically Endangered and Endangered, threatened by hunting for bushmeat, habitat loss, wildlife trade, and infectious diseases.

Got an upclose look at a silverbacks foot at the San Diego Zoo. The “fingerprints” and everything are just wild.

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?
