BETTER TO SEE SOMETHING ONCE Than to hear about it a thousand times!

Mountain Gorillas live mainly on ground, but are certainly able to climb trees. If a tree is bearing fruits,they will not pass up this opportunity. The only question concerning the silverbacks is if the branches can support their weight. Because of this reason, the silverbacks almost always sleep on the ground or in the lowest branches of a tree.

The Gorillas's eyes are usually dark brown and their ears are small-large ears be vulnerable in a densely vegetated habitat with thorns,spines and branches.

The noses of Gorillas are unique. Each Gorilla ha its own nose print(Schaller). The sweat glands are located in the armpits. In times of stress, the silverback will had a strong body odor.

Unlike its external appearances,the male mountain gorilla has proportionately the smallest penis of all primates,these measures only about 4cm.
