Tapescript:
For a long time the image most people had of a gorilla was a dangerous looking animal with big bared teeth But researchers studying gorillas show a very different picture of mountain gorillas The animals are peaceful, gentle, sociable, and mainly plant-eating creatures
Gorillas live in family groups A typical group is led by the biggest and strongest grown-up male gorilla He
is called a silverback because the hair on a male’s back turn from black to silver as he grows up This happens when he is between 11 and 13 years old A silverback's group usually includes one or two sub-adult males and a few females and their young
Mountain gorillas spend much of their time eating Their food includes a variety of plants, along with a few kinds of insects and worms Al night the animals make a nest to sleep in Many lightweight gorillas nest in trees The heavier ones may nest in grasses on the ground Babies sleep with their mothers at night
Life for mountain gorillas is not always peaceful They are endangered and threatened by civil war in a small area of Africa where they live Hunters kill them for food Their forests are cut down for farmland, fuel, and housing But many scientists, forest rangers, and other concerned people are working hard to protect mountain gorillas, their habitats
