They also show aggression and can be dangerous in case of challenge , threats or predator attacks in which they charge in a defensive mechanism
Gorillas are also family oriented primates and stay in families or groups also called troops led by a dominant male called a silverback who foresees the activities of the group . A gorilla family comprises of about 5-40 members depending on different circumstances and leadership .
