History

Although the silverback gorilla’s imposing appearance may seem formidable, these creatures are known for their gentle disposition. Despite reaching heights of up to six feet, they primarily feed on bamboo and plants. While usually peaceful, they showcase their bravery by thumping their chests when faced with danger. Sadly, these remarkable animals are currently facing critical endangerment.
