STORY
GORILLA LENDS A HELPING HAND
CHICAGO,IL,USA Binti-Jua is a fierce-looking gorilla who lives at the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago.One day,she was sitting in the gorilla habitat eating bananas.A little boy and his mother were watching the gorillas.All at once ,the child climbed over the stone wall."Look out!" someone shouted .But it was too late.The child fell 24 feet onto the cement floor of the gorilla habitat and was knocked out cold.
With his own baby on her back।Binti-Jua picked up the young boy।"The gorilla's got my baby!"criedthe boy's mother.Onlookers were scared out of their wits."I feared the worst,"said one paramedic."I thought she was going to treat him like a toy."But Binti-Jya was cool as a cucumber as she took care fo the boy.She rocked him in her arms and kept the other gorillas away.Then she carried him to the gate where zoo officials were waiting ."I can't believe how gentle she was!We're proud of her.She's the apple of our eye,"said a zoo director.The little boy is safe and sound , and Binti-Jua is a hero.

ABOUT GORILLA
The gorilla, the largest of the living primates, is a ground-dwelling omnivore that inhabits the forests of Africa. Gorillas are divided into two species and (still under debate as of 2007) either four or five subspecies. Its DNA is 97%-98% identical to that of a human,[3][4] and is the next closest living relative to humans after the two chimpanzee species
characteristics Gorilla knucklewalking, Cincinnati ZooGorillas move around by knuckle-walking। Adult males range in height from 165-175 cm (5 ft 5 in-5 ft 9 in), and in weight from 140-200 kg (310-440 lb)। Adult females are often half the size of a silverback, averaging about 140 cm (4 ft 7 in) tall and 100 kg (220 lb). Occasionally, a silverback of over 183 cm (6 feet) and 225 kg (500 lb) has been recorded in the wild. However, obese gorillas in captivity have reached a weight of 270 kg (600 lb).[6] Gorillas have a facial structure which is described as mandibular prognathism, that is, their mandible protrudes farther out than the maxilla.
Behavior A silverback gorilla Gorilla with young, Bronx ZooA silverback is an adult male gorilla, typically more than 12 years of age and named for the distinctive patch of silver hair on his back. A silverback gorilla has large canines that come with maturity. Black backs are sexually mature males of up to 11 years of age.
Silverbacks are the strong, dominant troop leaders. Each typically leads a troop of 5 to 30 gorillas and is the center of the troop's attention, making all the decisions, mediating conflicts, determining the movements of the group, leading the others to feeding sites and taking responsibility for the safety and well-being of the troop.
Males will slowly begin to leave their original troop when they are about 11 years old, traveling alone or with a group of other males for 2–5 years before being able to attract females to form a new group and start breeding. While infant gorillas normally stay with their mother for 3–4 years, silverbacks will care for weaned young orphans, though never to the extent of carrying the little gorillas.
If challenged by a younger or even by an outsider male, a silverback will scream, beat his chest, break branches, bare his teeth, then charge forward। Sometimes a younger male in the group can take over leadership from an old male. If the leader is killed by disease, accident, fighting or poachers, the group will split up, as the animals disperse to look for a new protective male. Very occasionally, a group might be taken over in its entirety by another male. There is a strong risk that the new male may kill the infants of the dead silverback.

Intelligence
Gorillas are closely related to humans and are considered highly intelligent. A few individuals in captivity, such as Koko, have been taught a subset of sign language (see animal language for a discussion).
Natural tool use by all the "great apes"
A female gorilla exhibiting tool use by using a tree trunk as a support whilst fishing.
The following observations were made by a team led by Thomas Breuer of the Wildlife Conservation Society in September 2005. Gorillas are now known to use tools in the wild. A female gorilla in the Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park in the Republic of Congo was recorded using a stick as if to gauge the depth of water whilst crossing a swamp. A second female was seen using a tree stump as a bridge and also as a support whilst fishing in the swamp. This means that all of the great apes are now known to use tools.[14]
In September 2005, a two and a half year old gorilla in the Republic of Congo was discovered using rocks to smash open palm nuts inside a game sanctuary.[15]. While this was the first such observation for a gorilla, over forty years previously chimpanzees had been seen using tools in the wild, famously 'fishing' for termites. It is a common tale among native peoples that gorillas have used rocks and sticks to thwart predators, even rebuking large mammals.[citation needed] Great apes are endowed with a semi-precision grip, and certainly have been able to use both simple tools and even weapons, by improvising a club from a convenient fallen branch. With training, in twentieth century carnival and circus acts, chimpanzees have been taught to operate simple motorbikes.
