A gorilla is the largest of the apes,
Gorilla's are found in the dense forests of
West Africa and mountains of central Africa.
The male stands about 1.8m (6ft), and weighs
about 200kg (450 lbs). Females are about half
the size. The body is covered with blackish
hair, silvered on the back in older males.
Gorillas live in family groups, they are
vegetarian, highly intelligent, and will
attack only in self-defence.
