The Mighty Gorilla

Gorillas are animals that are found in the wild  in many countries in Africa, like Rwanda and the Congo. They have been taken to zoos and people's houses so you can find them around the world.

What do Gorillas look like?

The gorilla has a large head, tiny ears and small black eyes.  Gorilla’s can grow up to 1.7m that is the height of some baseball players. They have a pretty big thick body which is made up of muscle. They use their human like hands to explore and investigate the world around.

Gorilla diet

The gorilla need a lots and lots of food, up to 20kgs a day. Gorillas are vegetarian so that mean that they only eat vegetable but some like to eat insects. Gorilla eat plants like stinging nettles, 97 species of flowers, and they love wild celery. Gorilla’s don't drink water  because their is enough water in the plants that they eat.

Gorilla habitat

Gorilla live in dense forests in Africa. Most gorillas live up to 10,000 feet on mountains where it is cloudy and cold. There must be a lot food where they are or they move to another mountain.

Behaviour of gorilla

Gorillas like to make nest in tree to sleep in. They use their sight, smell and ears  to talk with each other and to watch out for danger. Sometime there are really bad fights between silver back gorilla s like when they go on another troops land.  

Concluding paragraph

I think that gorilla is an amazing animal. They can learn sign languages  and understand us a little. Its is a really big responsibility  for us to  look after them so they are in the world forever.
