About Mountain Gorillas

Mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) are a subspecies of eastern gorillas. They are characterized by their thick fur, which helps them survive in the cold, mountainous regions of central Africa. These gorillas are primarily herbivores, feeding on leaves, shoots, and stems. They live in stable family groups, led by a dominant silverback male.
