Gorillas are more like humans even when it comes to grooming. As a matter of fact, it’s what they do all day long. While on gorilla tours you will notice that they clean each others hair, remove lice and other small insects stuck with in.

The female gorilla is the most hardworking as it grooms its offspring’s and the silver back which is the male gorilla.

The silver back is the only one that does not groom others. It’s the most superior of all the gorillas in its family and often fights to protect them. The easiest way to identify one is that it has a silver lining in the back differentiated from the other’s which have no silver lining at all.Gorillas generally live in families whether in a Uganda gorilla safari or a Rwanda gorilla tour

Even though gorillas are strong and have big bodies, they tend to stay out of trouble and often will make a lot of noise when disturbed instead of getting aggressive.

Gorillas are shy and quiet. They communicate to each other by hooting, growling, chest beating, sticking out their tongue and so much more actions.

This communication is used to teach the young survival skills like how to hunt for food and get along with other gorillas in the jungle.

When gorillas retire for the night, they make nests made out of leaves and other plant materials. It is for that reason that when researchers are estimating a gorilla population, they do it by counting the nests.
