Fun Facts
Did you know gorillas are the largest primates in the world? They can weigh over 400 pounds! Even though they look very strong, gorillas are mostly gentle herbivores, meaning they eat plants. Their diet includes leaves, stems, fruits, and even some insects. They live in family groups led by a dominant male called a silverback, named for the silver fur on his back. Gorillas help keep the jungle healthy by spreading seeds and eating too much vegetation. They are super important to their rainforest home, and sadly, they are an endangered species, which means we need to protect them and their habitat.
