Gorillas have dark fur and a flat face. They are the biggest apes in the world. The biggest gorillas are called silverbacks because they have silver hair on their backs.
Gorillas eat plants, fruit, and leaves. They spend a lot of their day munching on food. A grown-up gorilla can eat about 40 pounds of food every day!
