Adult males can reach 1.5-1.8 meters when standing, stretch their hands up to 2.25 meters, and weigh 150-180 kg. When ripe, a bunch of gray or silver hairs grow on the back.
Mountain gorillas have a longer and darker coat than other gorillas , so they can live at high altitudes and in cooler places.
Predominantly herbivorous, it includes leaves, branches and trunks of 142 species of plants.
When two groups meet, the two male leaders sometimes fight and bite each other with canine teeth until the other dies.
