Gorillas are the largest living primates, reaching heights between 1.25 and 1.8 metres, weights between 100 and 270 kg, and arm spans up to 2.6 metres, depending on species and sex. They tend to live in troops, with the leader being called a silverback.
The gorilla is a quiet animal, and typically shy by nature. To communicate wild gorillas use a variety of calls including grunts, hoots, a barks, and roars (which is given by aggressive males). The gorilla is a peaceful and unaggressive species unless it is unduly disturbed.
