Endangered Mountain Gorillas
The safety of hundreds of mountain gorillas living in different parts of Africa depends on the habitat that these animals live in. Mountain gorillas have been endangered for years in many different ways. Endangered mountain gorillas are very similar to humans. There are three different groups of gorillas and the mountain gorilla is one of them. There are some differences between these gorillas.
Mature male mountain gorillas are called silverbacks. The height that a silverback gorilla can reach up to is 5'6. The height of a female mountain gorilla is 5ft. A mountain gorilla has black and brown fur with black skin on its chest, fingers, armpits, bottom of their feet, palms, and faces. The weight of a silverback is 300-500 pounds. The weight of a female gorilla is 150-250pounds. The scientific name for a mountain gorilla is gorilla berengei. Mountain gorillas belong to the gorilla family.
Mountain gorillas are found in different parts of Africa in 285 square miles in the rain forests of Rwanda, Uganda and Zaire. Their habitats are in tropical rain forests in the forest edges and clearings, wet lowland forests, swamps, and abandoned fields. Eastern Lowland gorillas and Western Lowland gorillas also live in Zaire, but in different parts. All of these gorillas are very similar to each other. Mountain Gorillas live in cooler areas than the other two groups of gorillas.
Many of these gorillas are losing their homes. The rain forests are being cut down and used as farm land. These peaceful animals are being endangered because of genetic diseases transmitting very easily between human and other primate species. Sadly the health care for humans in the area is poor and therefore AIDS, malaria and a mess of other junk increase in the area. When humans enter the jungle to hunt, farm, poach, monitor, or live, they bring those diseases with them. People poach mountain gorillas for bush meat and trophies.
Gorillas eat 200 types of leaves, tubers, flowers, fruit, fungus and some insects. Some of their favorite foods include bamboo, thistles and wild celery. They do not drink water. Male gorillas eat approximately 50 pounds a day. They are herbivores and vegetarians.
When female gorillas are 10- 12 years old and are fully grown, they are able to reproduce. They only have 3 babies in their lifetime. Gorillas are pregnant for about 8 to 9.5 months. Newborn gorillas weigh only about 3-4 pounds at birth. At 4 months, the baby gorilla clutches onto their mother鈥檚 fur to get on her back. Baby gorillas can walk before they are 9 months old. When the gorilla is two years old, they are able to chew on vines and branches. Mothers feed their babies on milk for the first 2.5 years of their life. When they are old enough, gorillas begin to build their own sleeping nests out of vegetation. Young gorillas stay with their mother for 3-4 years. Adult male gorillas will care for orphaned young gorillas. The lifespan of a gorilla is 30- 50 years.
Gorillas have a few special adaptations such as they eat 200 types of leaves, tubers, flowers, fruit, fungus and some insects. They have a daily routine. At 6am-8am, they wake-up. At 8am-10am, they eat. At 10am-2pm, they eat, play, relax, and sleep. At 2pm-5pm, they travel 300-6,000 feet and hunting on the way. At 5pm-6pm, they build a nest for them to sleep in. At 6pm-6am, they sleep. A gorilla鈥檚 predators are humans, leopards, and crocodiles. When a gorilla is ready to defend itself and their family from hunters, they stand up and beat on their chest. Gorillas can make 25 different sounds. Different groups of gorillas try to stay away from each other. When they get near each other, they fight. To frighten the other gorilla away, the opponent stands up high to appear larger, beats on his chest, roars, waves his arms, tears branches and charges into the other gorilla.
Mountain gorillas are large, quiet, and shy animals that live in a few isolated mountain forests in Africa. They are in severe danger of extinction. These lovely animals are being endangered in many different ways. Together, they try to defend themselves from predators.
THANK U:):):):):):):):)):):))::):):0 This report is completely disorganized. Put "graphic organizer" in your search engine and download a report organizer. You may not like my answer, but at least I am telling you the truth. A bunch of disorganized facts do not make a decent report. You must put them in some sort of logical order. I can't take the time to explain it to you here, this should have been taught to you in some orderly way years ago. However, using a graphic organizer should help. Excellent! 10/10
