Gorillas live in groups. Each group of 16 30 individuals, led by a male gorilla, has its own range of movement, usually covering an area of about 40 square kilometers. Different groups can also forage together amicably and even very kindly when they meet.
Gorillas feed on leaves, shoots, ferns, root plants, fibrous bark, and sometimes wild fruits, gorillas are actually very quiet animals, and they are also very intelligent, about the same IQ as a three- or four-year-old human child.
A distant relative of humanity.
In the past, researchers relied only on morphology. From the perspective of the similarity of limbs and organs, it seems that there is still a big gap between humans and orangutans. Finally, biologists analyzed the genes of humans and orangutans and were surprised to find that the difference between humans and orangutans was only 1%, which was mainly judged by studying the genetic material "deoxyribonucleic acid".
"DNA" is a set of maps that can explain how animals develop and grow, and how they make the various proteins they need every day, such as muscles, cells and other components. Scientists judge the difference between humans and animals by analyzing a certain protein, such as analyzing the sequence of amino acids in hemoglobin. Although the results of the experiments vary slightly from house to house, the general trend is that humans and orangutans are the most similar, followed by humans and monkeys, and humans and dogs.
Roughly calculated, humans and orangutans were the same ancestor 5 million years ago.

Anonymous users2024-02-131. The body shape is different
The biggest difference between orangutans, also known as apes, and monkeys is their tails, which orangutans do not have and monkeys do, which they use to maintain balance or climb trees.
2. The proportions of the limbs are different
Orangutans have shorter hind limbs than forelimbs; Monkeys have longer hind limbs than forelimbs.
3. Different walking postures
When an orangutan walks, the fingers are bent and the back of the hand or knuckles touch the ground;
When the monkey walks, the fingers are flat and the are straight, and the palms of the hands touch the ground.
4. The growth direction of arm hair is different
Orangutan hair grows outwards horizontally or upwards; The monkey grows in the direction of the palm of the hand.
Chimpanzees and gorillas are the most intelligent animals with the impression that they are the closest relatives to humans. However, in a ranking of primate IQs recently released by researchers at Harvard University, the top of the list is not chimpanzees and gorillas, but orangutans. >>>More
Humans, mandrills or silverback gorillas, which primate has the strongest fighting ability?
Animals don't have love at all. Newborn animals generally take the first thing they see as their mother, do you also say that this is the love of mother and child? I guess it's just the gorilla's chemical hormone secretion.
Sometimes the touch screen of the mobile phone is not working, it may be that there is sweat or oil on the hands, resulting in stains on the screen, you can just clean the mobile phone screen. >>>More
Gorillas are basically vegetarians, but their muscles are very developed, and the main reason for this is determined by their genes, which determine that they can grow muscles even if they eat a vegetarian diet.
