A baby Gorilla weighs 2.5kg at birth but its weight grows
twice faster the growth of a human baby! And it takes approximately 10 months
to walk and slowly gets independent of the mother at 3 years old. At six years
a Gorilla is about 1.20 meter tall and weighs almost 70 kg. The females are
mature enough at six, though they continue to gain weight up-to 10 years old. Male Gorillas strictly reach
maturity at ten years old; their black back starts turning into grey (silver
back) and it is time for them to leave the parental group.
He will move alone or join other males for some time, before attracting females
to join them and form their own Gorilla
family.
