Gorilla Beringei: The Lovable Brute

Gorilla Beringei, also known as the mountain gorilla, is a fascinating creature to observe. These massive primates can weigh up to 400 pounds and stand up to 6 feet tall - making them the ultimate heavyweight champ of the primates.

Despite their intimidating size and strength, the gorilla beringei is a gentle giant with a heart overflowing with love. They are known for their nurturing personalities and love for their families. They live in social groups called troops which can consist of up to 30 individuals. The male gorillas often lead these troops and are the protectors of their loved ones.

Apart from loving their families, gorilla beringei’s love to simply relax and take it easy. They can often be found lounging around in the sun or munching on some delicious leaves. Their diet primarily consists of plants, but they’re not opposed to the occasional insect feast.

Now, don’t be fooled by their chilled-out nature - gorilla beringei is definitely not someone you’d want to mess with. In fact, when threatened, these primates can be pretty formidable. They have massive teeth and jaws that can easily crush bones.

But overall, the gorilla beringei is a wonderful creature to behold, and they’ve even captured the hearts of many humans. There have been numerous documentaries and movies featuring these primates, but perhaps the most famous of these is the movie ‘King Kong’ - which is a complete fabrication, of course.

So, if you ever get the chance to visit the mountain gorillas in their natural habitat, be sure to take a camera and capture these lovable brutes in action. But if you want to give them a hug, we suggest that you think twice - they might just squeeze the life out of you!
