During the early morning, the apes feed on a wide variety of leaves, buds, barks and fruits. Only gorillas living in captivity eat meat. From the middle of the morning to the middle of the afternoon is nap time. The adults rest while the younger apes wrestle with each other, play games similar to follow the leader or king of the mountain and swing back and forth on vines. After the rest period, all the gorillas eat again.
Gorillas travel in groups looking for bamboo, bark, buds, fruit and leaves to eat.
Every evening just before dark, the gorillas build a simple nest where they sleep during the night. Adult gorillas build their own nests but baby gorillas snuggle in with their mothers. The gorilla is the largest kind of ape. Gorillas can walk a few steps using their legs. But they generally use their knouckles to support the upper part of thier body.
