TEKSNYAGorillas
Gorillas are the largest of all the primates, the animal order including lemurs, tarsiers, monkeys, and apes. They are the anthropoid apes which have the greater in size. Gorillas are terrestrial animals, inhabiting the lands, not the water. Many of them live in forests of central West Africa.

A male gorilla can be 180 centimeters tall and can weigh 200 kilograms. Physically gorillas are very powerful, but they do not often fight. In fact they are peaceful animals. Gorillas live in small family groups of about 15. In a group, there is
one strong, older male, some young males, and a few females with their babies. Like some other kinds of apes, they are vegetarians. They move slowly around a large area of jungle eating leaves and bushes.

In some ways gorillas are like humans. However, according to some careful research, they are not the ancestors of human beings. Unfortunately, people hunt and kill gorillas. People also cut down and burn their trees where they live. There are now only about 10,000 gorillas left in the world.
