Gorillas - their Home

Like all other apes, all gorillas live in the rain forest. Only chimpanzees also occur in the tree savannah.
The gorillas roam through their home ranges from one feeding place to the next. They feed almost exclusively on plants, which they eat in large quantities. To be able to process these masses of plant material, the gorillas have very strong chewing muscles. Their teeth are very much like human teeth, except for the very long, pointed canines of adult gorilla males. The males don't use those for feeding but for fighting against competing males.
