Each gorilla has a unique nose print. Mountain gorillas live among the Viunga Mountains. These are six inactive volcanoes in central Africa. Their steep slopes are covered with rain forests. Most days they are cool and damp and it often rains.
Mountain gorillas eat and sleep in thick tangles of trees, plants, vines, and mosses.
Staring is a form of a threat or a strong behavior to a gorilla. Loud noises or fast movements are also threats to a gorilla. Pointing or waving arms towards a gorilla is a threat or rude sign. Showing your teeth to a gorilla is a sign of behavior. Beating your chest, shoving together to get as close to the gorilla as possible, or standing tall and trying to show off or scare them is a sign of disrespect.
