16 Gorilla Coloring Pages

Gorillas are the largest primates, and they share about 98 percent of their DNA with humans. They live in the forests of central Africa in family groups led by a mature male called a silverback, named for the silver-gray hair on his back. Despite their size and strength, gorillas are mostly calm plant eaters that munch leaves, stems and fruit. This collection shows gorilla families and fun moments. A mother cuddles her baby, a baby rides on its mother's back, a gorilla holds a banana bunch and another carries a flower. Others sit on a leafy branch and explore the jungle. A baby gorilla and two cute gorilla pages keep it simple for young kids. Real gorillas are black or dark brown, with lighter gray on a silverback's back. Layering black with dark brown gives the fur depth. Bright green leaves around them make a lush jungle. These pages can start a conversation about protecting endangered gorillas and their forests.
