What If You Used Taekwondo Against A Gorilla ?!
Gorillas constitute the eponymous genus Gorilla, largest extant genus primates physical size.ground-dwelling, predominantly herbivorous apes inhabit the forests of central Africa. The genus divided into two species either four or five subspecies. The DNA of gorillas is highly similar to that of a human, from 95--99% depending on what is counted, and they are the next closest living relatives to humans after the chimpanzees (including bonobos).
Gorillas' natural habitats cover tropical or subtropical forests in Africa. Although their range covers small percentage Africa, gorillas cover a wide range of elevations. The mountain gorilla inhabits the Albertine Rift montane cloud forests of the Virunga Volcanoes, ranging altitude from. Lowland gorillas live in dense forests and lowland swamps and marshes as low as sea level, western lowland gorillas living in Central West African countries and eastern lowland gorillas living in the Democratic Republic of the Congo near its border with Rwanda.
A gorilla's day is synchronized, divided between rest periods and travel or feeding periods. Diets differ between  within species. Mountain gorillas mostly eat foliage, leaves, stems, pith, and shoots, fruit makes up a very small part of their diets.Mountain gorilla not have to compete with each other. Their home ranges average , and their movements range or less on an average day.Despite eating a few species in each habitat, mountain gorillas have flexible diets and can live in a variety of habitats.
Eastern lowland gorillas have more diverse diets. Leaves and pith are commonly eaten, but fruits can make up as much as 25% of their diets. fruit, lowland gorillas must travel farther each day, and their .Eastern lowland gorillas will also eat insects, preferably ants. Western lowland gorillas depend on fruits more than the others dispersed  range.They travel gorilla subspecies.Western lowland gorillas access to terrestrial herbs, access aquatic herbs areas.Termites and ants are also eaten.Gorillas rarely drink water "consume succulent vegetation that is comprised of almost half water as well as morning dew",although both mountain and lowland gorillas observed drinking.predator of gorillas leopard. Gorilla remains have been found leopard scat, result scavenging.group is attacked humans, leopards, or other gorillas, individual silverback will protect the group, even at the cost of his own life.George Schaller reported, "a silverback gorilla and a leopard found dead from mutually inflicted wounds"
Gorillas live in groups called troops. Troops tend adult male or silverback, multiple adult females offspring. However, multiple-male troops also exist. A silverback is typically more than 12 years of age, named distinctive patch of silver hair back, maturity. Silverbacks  large canine teeth maturity. Both males and females tend to emigrate from their natal groups. For mountain gorillas, females disperse from their natal troops more than males. Mountain gorillas  western lowland gorillas.Mature males groups establish troops emigrating females. male mountain gorillas sometimes stay natal troops subordinate the silverback. If the silverback dies, these males dominant or mate with the females.This behavior eastern lowland gorillas.single male group, silverback dies, the females offspring disperse new troop. Without  silverback protect them,infants likely victim infanticide. Joining group is likely tactic against this.gorilla troops disband silverback dies, female eastern lowlands gorillas offspring recorded staying together silverback transfers into the group.likely serves  protection leopards.The silverback is the center of troop's attention,decisions, mediating conflicts, determining the movements of the group, leading the others to feeding sites responsibility for the safety and well-being of the troop.Younger males subordinate  silverback, backup protection. Blackbacks are aged between 8 and 12 years of age and lack the silver back hair. The bond silverback females core of gorilla social life. Bonds are maintained by grooming and staying close together.Females form strong relationships males mating opportunities protection from predators infanticidal outside males. However, aggressive behaviors males and females occur, serious injury.Relationships between females vary. Maternally related females troop friendly associate closely.females have few friendly encounters and commonly act aggressively towards. Females fight social access males .Male gorillas weak social bonds,multiple-male groups apparent dominance hierarchies strong competition mates. Males in all-male groups, friendly interactions socialize play, Gorillas nests daytime night use. Nests simple aggregations branches leaves about.
