Question

Gorilla is the largest of the great apes. A large male gorilla living in the wild may weigh 204 kilograms.
Standing up on its legs, it may be about 6 ft tall. Females usually weigh 91 kilograms and are shorter
than males.
Gorillas live in the rain forests of Central Africa. They are unaggressive creatures living in family
groups led by a big male. Each group wanders in its own home range. During the day gorillas
rarely travel much more than one kilometer because the leaves and shoots that they eat are plentiful
in the forests where they live.
A gorilla’s day starts at dawn at about 6 a.m. when the party wakes and searches for food. From
about 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. they rest. When the adults rest, younger apes wrestle with each other,
play games and swing back and forth on vines. After this, the party travels through the forest again
looking for more food until dusk i.e. about 6 p.m.
Gorillas are always on the move and never spend more than one night in the same place. They
sleep in nests made of branches which they break or bend to make a crude platform either on
the ground or in trees. Adult gorillas build their own nests while baby gorillas snuggle in with their
mothers. A new nest is made everyday.
Because of hunting, destruction of rainforests and human wars that affect gorilla habitat, gorillas
are now very rare. There are less than 400 gorillas left in the wild.
