The gorilla is the largest monkey in the world, with a large male as tall as an average-sized man and weighing as much as 450 pounds (205 kg). Fully mature male gorillas are called "silverbacks" because, by the time they reach the age of about 12, the hair on their backs has turned silky gray. There are two species of gorillas: the western gorilla and the eastern gorilla, each of which is divided into two subspecies.
Specialty: -
According to the Guinness Book of Records, a silverback gorilla can lift to 815 kg (1800 lb) of dead weight. Meanwhile, a well-trained human could lift a maximum of 410 kg (900 lb) - the gorilla could manage. This is, of course, a rough calculation.
Fact: -
1) Gorillas have hands and feet like humans with opposable thumbs and big toes.
2) Gorillas strengthen human ability, when compared, adult gorillas are four to nine times stronger than the average man. According to the Guinness Book of Records.
3) They sleep in the nest at night. Baby gorillas will live in their mother's nest until they are about 2 years old.
4) They are highly intelligent and are now seen using tools in the wild.
5) Gorillas live in small groups called army or band. Each troop has a dominant male silverback, some female gorillas and their offspring.
Food:-
Gorillas are mostly vegetarian and eat plants. The plants they eat include leaves, stem pith, fruits, and bamboo. Sometimes they will eat insects, especially ants. A fully grown adult male will eat about 50 pounds of food a day.
