Adult male gorillas are heavier and larger than females and young gorillas, making it difficult for them to climb trees with agility. They primarily feed on the ground to avoid the risk of falling from trees, which could result in injury or death. Additionally, their larger size and weight make it more energy-efficient for them to forage on the ground rather than in trees.
What animals eat cross river gorillas?
Cross River gorillas have few natural predators due to their size and strength, but young gorillas can be vulnerable to large carnivores such as leopards.

Are mountain gorillas silverback gorillas the same?
Mountain gorillas and silverback gorillas are not the same, but they are closely related. Mountain gorillas are a subspecies of the eastern gorilla, specifically found in the Virunga Mountains of Central Africa. The term "silverback" refers to adult male gorillas, regardless of their subspecies, characterized by the silver hair on their backs that develops with maturity. Thus, while all silverback gorillas can be mountain gorillas, not all mountain gorillas are silverbacks, as females and younger males do not have this distinctive feature.

I have read that an adult gorilla's upper body strength is six times more powerful than a humans, however I wouldn't be surprised if were much more than that. For example a chimp is supposedly ten times stronger than a human, and I would say the gorilla is much stronger than a chimp.
