[@Mr.MidKnight]

Keep spreading misinformation pal. These animals are peaceful unless surprised or provoked, maybe if PEOPLE knew gorilla culture and didn't act like idiots, they wouldn't be attacked. If you act correctly, you'll even be accepted and entrusted into troops if given time. Gorillas are lovers, and our cousins, they look intimidating, and certainly are dangerous, but If you don't scream, look into there eyes, or surprise them, you'll be fine, you can even bring fruit, that'll get them to love you faster, but always give the first few to the silver back, and let him distribute to his family. The key is the silver backs heart. And just like their muscles, are huge. Diane fossey has proven their love time and time again, died in the congo, bc people like you want to demonize these creatures.
