Are Gorillas Dangerous?
Generally, gorillas are naturally timid and reserved towards humans. They tend to keep their distance and do not approach humans closely. However, gorillas can become dangerous in certain circumstances, often due to human error.
If a gorilla feels surprised or threatened in any way, it may react aggressively to protect itself, even if there is no real danger. A silverback gorilla may respond with a loud roar or even engage in bluff charges.
