Where Is It Located?
There are two gorilla species: the eastern and western gorilla and either four or five
subspecies.
There are some minor differences between them, but both are considered critically in change
and because of handling and loss of habitat.
In the wild gorillas are found in the tropical and subtropical forests of central Sub-Saharan
Africa.
Mountain gorillas inhabit cloud forests on volcanic mountains in Uganda, Rwanda and the
Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Lowland gorillas are usually more slender and agile than mountain gorillas and live
at sea level in swamps, marshes and dense forests.
Eastern lowland gorillas, the largest of all gorilla subspecies, live near the border between
Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo while western lowland gorillas occupy Central
West African countries.
A troop of gorillas can have a territory of up to 16 square miles.
Their diets vary according to where they live, and mostly consist of fruit, leaves, seeds,
tree bark or pulp, roots and, occasionally, insects and other small animals.

How Will It Fill You?
Despite their immense strength and feels appearance, gorillas don’t have a reputation of impression
towards us.

How to Arrive?
Gorillas are fast sprinters but not good long distance runners.
If you’re far away, running may put enough distance between you and a troop of gorillas.
There’s an entire sequence of ritualized bread display that’s unique to gorillas
and used to intimidate without physical confrontation.
There are loud grunts and hoots, rising on two legs, throwing vegetation and chest beating
at a rapid tempo.
Recognizing this bread behavior can save your life.
If you’re close to the gorilla, don’t run, as it’s likely to catch you.
Take submissive action by crouching down and making yourself small.
If it does charge you, lower yourself to the ground and go limp if it decides to examine
you.
There’s a chance it will get bored and leave.
Your behavior needs to indicate that you’re not a bread.
Never show your teeth, pound your chest in return, or make yourself look bigger as this
can pro joke the gorilla to pretend its territory.
If none of this works, go for the eyes and try to inflict as much the match as quickly
as possible.
Any heavy blow that the gorilla lands on you has the potential of in lap hesitating you.
