Behaviours
Silverbacks (male gorilla) is typically more aggressive than other group members as the safety of the other animals is their responsibility. The dominant Silverback is responsible for the portion size of food and most other calls and also can terminate troublesome behavior with one look. Gorillas will give each other nose-to-nose greetings and gestures of reassurance such as touching or cuddling much like humans do.
