The silverback gorilla eats what other gorillas in its locale eat. We don't "pull out" the silverback gorilla for a study of the food chain of the gorilla. Why? The silverback gorilla is just a mature male of the species. That's all. In that light, it eats what other gorillas in its region eat.
The gorilla is essentially a vegetarian, and it really has no other animals that prey on it. (This, though man kills it for meat and/or to trade in its body parts.) The diet of the gorilla will vary a bit as the flora vary in the area it roams. Use the link below for more information on what the gorilla eats.

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.
