THE GORILLA

Gorillas, the largest of living primates, inhabit Central America's forests and face severe threats. Divided into two species, these majestic creatures are endangered due to intense poaching and habitat destruction. Adult males weigh up to 200 kg, while females are typically half that size. They are herbivores that primarily consume fruits, leaves, and shoots. Their close genetic ties to humans highlight their intelligence and gentle nature. To ensure their survival, we must engage in conservation efforts, raise awareness, and support initiatives that protect these magnificent animals.
