What can a gorilla?

There are only 5 creatures that hunt gorillas for food: a lion, a crocodile, a jaguar, and a leopard can kill and eat a gorilla.

Crocodiles will occasionally attack gorillas in the low lands but this is only really a potential threat, there are very few observed cases.

Leopards will occasionally hunt gorillas for food but gorillas are large, strong, agile, highly intelligent and live in close-knit family groups so it is a high risk strategy to attack them for food. An angry adult male gorilla is a formidable foe for almost any species on the planet.

Humans also hunt gorillas for food are directly responsible for their being an endangered species.

After the gorilla dies, it gets eaten by scavengers.
Gorillas are not an easy prey to catch. They are preyed upon by leopards and, more often than not, humans. Lowland gorillas could also become prey to crocodiles.
Gorillas are large and powerful creatures, and an adult male gorilla-often called a "silverback"-is capable of scaring away just about any other animal.

Sometimes, however, a leopard will attack, kill and eat a young or baby gorilla. But young gorillas usually stay very close to their parents, so this is not an easy thing for a leopard to do.

And no leopard in its right mind would even think about attacking a full-grown silverback.
