5 Interesting Facts About Female Gorillas!

  • Female gorillas are significantly smaller than males - about half the weight - but are no less impressive, raising their infants with a level of care and patience that rivals any primate, including humans.
  • A gorilla mother carries her infant constantly for the first six months of its life, and the baby continues to ride on her back until it's around two to three years old.
  • Female gorillas choose their mate - if they're unhappy in a group, they will leave and join another silverback, which gives them significant social power despite their smaller size.
  • Gorillas share about 98.3% of their DNA with humans - the differences that do exist are largely responsible for features like body hair distribution and facial structure.
  • Female gorillas have been observed fashioning simple tools and have demonstrated the ability to learn sign language in captivity - Koko the gorilla famously learned over 1,000 signs and could express emotions and concepts.
