Description

This father and son duo was playing for quite a long time. This young-one was not intimidated by his father's large size. During the course of his play-time, this young-one not only bit his father multiple times, but jumped on him, tackled him and also threw hay in his face. It was quite a thing to witness.

Gorillas are ground-dwelling, predominantly herbivorous apes that inhabit the forests of central Sub-Saharan Africa. The genus Gorilla is divided into two species: the eastern gorillas and the western gorillas (both critically endangered), and either four or five subspecies. They are the largest living primates. The DNA of gorillas is highly similar to that of humans, from 95–99% depending on what is counted, and they are the next closest living relatives to humans after the chimpanzees and bonobos.
