A 700lb or 900lb gorilla would be equally entitled to sleep wherever he wants to. Interestingly, the Wikipedia entry for Gorilla states that the average male gorilla weighs about 400lb, occasionally reaching 500lb in the wild. Only obese gorillas in captivity have attained weights of 600lb. So the number doesn't even seem to be related to gorilla biology (except that it is safely larger than any known gorilla, save King Kong).
WWF works to designate new gorilla sanctuaries, such as in Congo. Adult male gorillas weigh up to 440 pounds and can reach a height of six feet when standing on two legs. Mature male gorillas are known as âsilverbacksâ for the white hair that develops on their back at about 14 years of age.Females have a gestation period of 8.5 months and nurture their young for several years. Generally, females give birth to one baby every four to six years.ature male gorillas are known as âsilverbacksâ for the white hair that develops on their back at about 14 years of age.
