Hello!
Who are you?
I am a mountain gorilla.
Gorillas are the biggest kind of apes.
Where do you live?
We live in the mountains of Africa.
Our home is the forest.
Do you make sounds?
We make many sounds.
We hoot and roar when we're mad.
We growl softly when we're happy.
What do you eat?
We mostly eat plants and tree bark.
We really like plants' stems, roots, and leaves.
Do you have any enemies?
People are our main enemy.
They steal our land and hunt us.
But some people try to protect us.
Do you live alone?
No, we live in groups.
See the baby?
Young gorillas love to play!
Who's in charge?
The big silverback is our boss.
He's the oldest male.
He tells us what to do.
I hear the silverback calling me now.
Good-bye!
Good-bye, Mountain Gorilla!
