Gorilla
Gorillas are a part of the
monkey family that live in Asia and Africa.They are unusual because they can
hold on to things with their feet ,which are like human hands .We need to look
after Gorillas and protect them from becoming a part of the black market so
they don’t become extinct.
Habitat
Gorillas like to live in wet
rain forest. They only live in equatorial Africa in the following countries: Cameroon,
Central Africa Republic, Demoratic Republic of Conga, Gabon, Guinea, Nigeria, Rwanda
and Uganda. The Gorilla lives on the ground but eats from the trees. They like
to climb and swing through trees and can use their four hands to do this.
Food
Gorillas are primarily
vegetarians except for occasional treats of ants. They like to eat leaves, bamboo,
celery and other vegetables.
What it looks like
Gorillas have black thick fur
and have fingers like a human. They have a huge nose and a head which is just
bigger than a humans head.
Breeding
Gorillas have no breeding
seasons. Gorillas are mammals so babies come out of their mum’s tummy. The mum
feeds the baby milk. It grows like a human. A baby looks like a adult but it
has less fur.
We need to stop killing
gorillas, spread the word out to other people to stop them from doing it to, and protect one of the most fascinating
human-like animals on our planet.
