elsewhere by the leaves.

What do they eat?

• The Gorilla is native from the African continent. • It´s distribution includes at least three insolated in

Equatorial Africa.• Other not so large population lies to the East of the

continent; in the forests of lowland areas of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.• They live in small groups (or bands) of 6-7

individuals, including one silverback (adult male), a few females, and their young.

When the young mature, they go off and join or form another band.

Where do they live?

• Gorillas are shy, social animals that are active during the day (they are diurnal). • Grooming one another (cleaning the hair of

another gorilla) is a major occupation among gorillas in a band.

• Gorillas are not aggressive animals. When an intruder disturbs them, they may make a lot of noise, but they rarely confront another animal.

Behaviors

• The gorilla have very long arms (the arms are longer than the legs), and a short, bulky body with a wide chest.

• Gorillas' hands are very much like ours; they have five fingers, including an opposable thumb. Their feet have five toes, including an opposable big toe. Gorillas can grasp things with both their hands and their feet.

How it looks like?

Gorillas are among the animals closer to the man by his body shape: they have 5 fingers on each hand and foot like us and because also the skeletal form.

That is why the gorilla is the previous animal in the chain of evolution before the human.
