hi a steemian friend, this time I will give you information about the almost extinct primate of GORILA.
Gorillas are the largest species of primates. Gorillas are made up of vegetables, although they sometimes eat insects. Therefore gorillas can be classified as omnivorous animals. Gorillas come from tropical forests in Africa.
Gorillas are included in the order of Primates and Pongidae family.
There are three subspecies of gorillas, namely gorillas from the west, lowland gorillas, and mountain gorillas.
Gorillas live in tropical forests in the central part of Africa and in the mountains to a height of more than 4,000 m.
Gorillas are the greatest apes. The weight of a male gorilla can reach 300 kg with a height of 2.30 m. The female gorilla is smaller. In the wild, gorillas can live up to 35 years.
There is no specific reproductive period for gorillas. After containing for 9 months, the female gorilla gives birth to a baby that will continue to hold her mother's stomach for 2.5 months. Breasting lasts for 1 year. Then, for the next 3 years, the gorilla parent will give an exclusive education to her child before she remarries.
Gorillas spend most of their time eating the leaves, flowers, fruit, bark, roots, and bamboo shoots. They consume plants that contain lots of water and never drink.
If you're not eating, the gorilla will be happy and play in the sun. They communicate with each other with movement and sound. Every night, they prepare the bed from the twigs, both on the ground and on the tree.
Gorillas live in groups containing a dominant male gorilla, 3-4 female gorillas, and children. Male gorillas are often called "silver backs" because the gray feathers that decorate his back since the age of 10 years.
Gorillas primarily inhabit tropical forest habitats. Tropical forests are characterized to have little temperature difference (around 23 ° C) and daylight length (about 12 hours). However, rainfall varies in the tropics and is a major factor for the type of vegetation grown in an area.
Lowland tropical forests usually have a prolonged dry season and usually consist of thorny bushes, trees, and succulents (plants that can store water in their cells).
Other areas that have different wet and dry seasons usually consist of tropical rainforests. Trees and dead shrubs lose their leaves during the dry season and produce new leaves when it rains.
let's protect this primate together, so that later generations that will come our offspring can see this primate.
so information that I can convey, may be useful for you and hope you like it.
