Wild gorillas are large primates that primarily inhabit the forests of Africa. They are divided into two species: the Eastern gorilla and the Western gorilla. These gentle giants live in family groups led by a dominant male known as a silverback. Gorillas are herbivores, mainly feeding on leaves, stems, and fruits. Gorillas are known for their strong social bonds and communication skills, using vocalizations, gestures, and facial expressions to interact. They play a crucial role in their ecosystem by helping to disperse seeds and maintain forest health. Unfortunately, wild gorillas face threats from habitat loss and poaching, making conservation efforts essential.
