Gorillas

1Gorillas live in green forests in Africa. They live in groups called troops.

2A big male leads most troops. When he grows up, the hair on his back turns silver. So he is called a silverback.

3Gorillas eat mostly plants. They munch on leaves, stems and fruit.

4A baby gorilla rides on its mother. At first, it holds on to her belly. Later, it rides on her back.

5Every night, gorillas make new nests. They use leaves and branches. Some nests are in trees, and some are on the ground.
