Gorillas

The lowland gorilla is the largest member of the great apes. A mature male may weigh over 500 pounds. Females are usually lighter weighing about 200 pounds. Gorillas live in groups led by mature male, a silverback. He determines when they move, when they eat, where they eat, and where they rest. The family group spends the day together foraging for leaves, shoots, and stems. Gorillas are docile creaturesand use a variety of facial expressions, body gestures and sounds to reinforce the bonds within a group.
