If mountain gorilla became extinct what would happen?
Probaibly, waht might happen is that part of Africa that they live in would become over populated with plants, but not just any plants. Plants that might be diseased and could kill an actual super important animal or mabey a chance that scientist's might discover that some of the plants might also be harmful to humans. Now we can't just walk through the beautiful forest anymore because of these harmful plants. So gorillas do help us in a way that could save some lives of us. Now we're still killing them and that doesn't seem fair but they help us by eating these disease infested plants. So this would pose a problem if they died or so called went extinct.

What do gorillas do for fun?
Gorillas, like humans, are primates. This means they share a common ancestor with humans, a proto-ape, if you will. Because of this evolutionary kinship, they are very like us, they can walk on their feet when they're adults, they can eat with their hands, they can listen and learn as quick as we can so they are nearly the same as us! Gorillas in captivity have shown a remarkable grasp of basic language concepts heretofore thought to belong to humans alone. The most famous of these gorillas, Koko, learned to communicate with researchers using sign language, since a gorilla's vocal cords aren't capable of reproducing spoken language. Koko produced complex sentences using sign language suggesting gorillas and humans likely share similar thought processes. Koko expressed emotions and a rich and complex mental life.
