Silverbacks are male gorillas that have a distinctive patch of silver hair on their backs. This term is not used to describe females or based on their behavior, but rather on their maturity and dominance within a group.
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.
Older male gorillas sometimes call their territory with a deep, rumbling sound known as a "belch vocalization." This vocalization is used to establish dominance and communicate with other gorillas in the area.
Silverback gorillas are mature male gorillas 12 years of age or older. Each silverback is the dominant individual in his troop. He is the primary defender of the troop, but he may kill and eat the infants of females who have recently joined his troop.
