think of gorillas as dangerous killers. One reason for this is that
television and movies often show these animals this way. But gorillas are really gentle animals.

creatures are in danger of becoming extinct. Each
year, large areas of the rain forests are being cut down. Because there is less and less food from these forests, the number of wild gorillas is becoming smaller and smaller.
