Mountain gorillas do not eat meat as they eat mostly a vegetarian diet and eat stems, fruits and bamboo shoots.

Mountain gorillas cannot survive in captivity because their habitat is over the Mountain and if they are kept in Zoo's or captivity then they will not get the proper ecosystem they need and can die.

Mountain gorillas can only survive in dense forests of Eat, Central and Western Africa.

If mountain gorillas go extinct the natural balance in the food chain would be disrupted as gorillas, just like all wild animals play an important role in the environment and without mountain gorillas eating lots of vegetation the food chain balance would get disrupted.

A silverback gorilla is a mountain gorilla.

Adult male mountain gorillas are called Silverback gorillas because of the silver saddle of hair on their backs.

Mountain gorillas have a stocky build, with a broad chest, long, muscular arms and wide feet and hands.

The mountain gorilla is one of the two subspecies of the eastern gorilla.

Mountain gorillas are peaceful animals they will not attack anyone or anything if they have not be irritated or poked.

If you meet them and just go about your business that doesn't affect them, you will come out of their presence well and unharmed.

Mountain gorillas are endangered - there are an estimated 1,063 in the wild according to the latest census results (which come out every 5-10 years).

Gorillas, like all wild animals, play an important role in their environment.

Without these large-scale grazers eating lots of vegetation, the natural balance in the food chain would be disrupted.

Mountain Gorillas as well as Lowland Gorillas can be aggressive and dangerous to human and other animals/fellow gorillas.

Gorillas are majorly ground-dwelling, majorly herbivorous apes largely peaceful but in special clear different circumstances, gorillas can be fatally dangerous.

Certain reptiles such as chameleons and caterpillars are what are gorillas scared/afraid of.

They are also afraid of water and will cross streams only if they can do so without getting wet, such as by crossing over fallen logs, and dislike rain.

Many adult mountain gorillas were killed to obtain live babies, none of which survived in captivity.

The reason why they failed to survive is unclear, since lowland gorillas have been kept and even bred successfully in captivity.
