Gorillas are mammals because they fulfil the definition of mammals:
- live birth
- suckle their young
- warm-blooded
- have fur
- breathe with lungs
A gorilla belongs to the mamal family because it's young are born live, not as eggs to be hatched later as in the bird and reptile family. It also feeds its young with its mammalian glands, a gland exclucive to mamals.
