The gorilla is a majestic, intelligent primate native to Africa’s lush forests. With their imposing build, broad chests, and gentle eyes, gorillas command respect. These social creatures live in harmonious groups, led by dominant males, and feed on leaves, shoots, and fruits. Their strength and vulnerability fascinate and inspire humans.
