Gorilla crafts
Gorillas are brilliant for hands-on crafts. Colour one and glue it to a paper bag or craft stick for a puppet, cut and paste the pieces to build your own gorilla, or thread a few up a length of yarn so they look like they're climbing a jungle vine. Don't forget the gorilla's famous move — fists up for a gentle chest-beat!
Jungle friends — and is it a monkey or an ape?
Here's a great question: a gorilla is an ape, not a monkey! The easiest way to tell is the tail — a monkey has one, but an ape like the gorilla does not. Build a whole jungle with a lion and a tiger, browse the whole wild animals group, or explore the full animals collection.
G is for Gorilla
Gorillas are gentle giants! They're the largest primates in the world, yet they mostly eat plants — leaves, shoots and fruit. The big adult male in charge is called a "silverback" because of the silvery fur on his back, and gorillas beat their chests to send messages to each other. Amazingly, gorillas share almost all of their DNA with humans! These templates are great for the letter "G" too.
