Gorilla

WALT; write a non chronological report

Remember to use:
  • an opening paragraph explain what your report is about.
  • headings and subheadings for the main body.
  • an closing paragraph, recapping on what you have written.
  • Pictures, maps etc with captions to explain what they are.
Remember to use fiction not opinions.

The Mighty Gorilla
Gorillas are animals that live in dense forests in tropical Africa, such as Rwanda. Gorilla’s are fascinating animals, who behave a lot like humans and we need to look after them.

What do Gorillas look like?
The gorilla is huge, with broad chest and shoulders. The arms are longer than the midget legs. When standing up they can be over 6 feet tall. It has a huge head and large nostrils. Each Gorilla has a unique nose print which is similar to a human fingerprint.
The fully adult male mountain gorilla is twice as large as the female. It is a shiny black unlike saturn black and it is silver when it is the leader of the troop.
What do gorillas eat
They are vegetarian which means they only eat vegetables. Their diet is quite common but they need a lot of it. They eat a variety different plants, but their favorite food is NOT  bananas, they will eat wild celery, bamboo, thistles and stinging nettles.  They will eat up to 20 kgs of food that's half of someone’s weight that is 40 kgs
What is their behaviour
They like to nest in trees by making a bed using leaves to sleep in. They hang out with their family and they like to groom each other. The leader of the troop is the silverback. He will choose where they eat, sleep and rest. They are very gentle and they will only hurt you if you hurt them. Lastly, they will play and graze for most of the day.
Where do gorillas live
Gorillas are found in Africa. Some live up in the mountains 10,000 feet up where it is cloudy, misty and cold. Some also live in the forests up where it warmer and lots of food can be found.
Conclusion
Gorillas are endangered but fabulous animals. They like to stick together in their troops, their leader is the silver back. I think we should leave them alone so they can live a happy life.
