Although their range covers a small percentage of Sub-Saharan Africa, gorillas cover a wide range of elevations. The western gorilla lives in west central Africa, while the eastern gorilla lives in east central Africa. However, aggressive behaviours between males and females do occur, but rarely lead to serious injury.When young males reach the age of 8-11 they will usually emigrate away and either join another group or form new groups. She later became an advocate for the conservation of gorillas, and wrote several more books (mainly for children). Years later, at the behest of Louis Leakey and the National Geographic, Dian Fossey conducted a much longer and more comprehensive study of the mountain gorilla. Despite eating a few species in each habitat, mountain gorillas have flexible diets and can live in a variety of habitats.

The silverback has a largely supportive relationship with the infants in his troop and shields them from aggression within the group.

The first gorilla genome was generated with short read and Sanger sequencing using DNA from a female western lowland gorilla named Kamilah. Western gorillas live in both lowland swamp forests and montane forests, at elevations ranging from sea level to 1,600m (5,200ft). Inspired by Emmanuel Frémiet's Gorilla Carrying off a Woman, gorillas have been depicted kidnapping human women. Twenty-five distinct vocalisations are recognised, many of which are used primarily for group communication within dense vegetation.This ‘social grooming’ is an important aspect of gorilla groups which helps to establish and reinforce social bonds.
