I'd like to start a list of all of the characteristics of a gorilla, according to Ivan. Will you help me make a list? I know I have missed some already. If you think of one add it in the comments section.

p.162   "Gorillas are terrible liars."

p. 126  "He was everything a silverback is meant to be: a guide, a teacher, a protector."

p. 3   "Gorillas are patient."

p. 51    "Gorillas are not complainers."

What does it mean to be a gorilla? I think gorilla's are calm civilized creatures they have their protector and their family. They are like humans and they use tools and are smart and patient. I think they are terrible liars because they never lie and when they do they are bad at it. Gorilla's protect there young, teach them, feed them, and more. Gorilla's are truly magnificent creatures.
