- The mature (older) male gorilla gets a saddle of white fur on his back and is also called the silverback.
- When threatened by intruders, the male hoots loudly. He then beats his chest and throws fruit at them. If they still come closer, he then runs up to them and knocks them down with a massive hand swipe…..make sure you call ahead to let him know you are coming!
