Female gorillas can start mating when they are about 8 to 10 years old, (earlier in captivity); males at 11-13 years. Gorilla's give birth about every three to four years.
Gestation is 8.5 months. The baby gorilla weighs about 2 kilograms when it is born. The baby sucks milk from its mother's breast.
At first the female carries her baby in her arms. After about three months, the baby rides on its mother's back, holding onto her long hair.
By the age of 3 months the baby is able to crawl, and by 5 months it can walk. The baby rides on its mother's back until it is almost 3 years old. The young gorilla stays with its mother until it is about four years old.
The lifespan is between 30-50 years, although some have lived longer in captivity.
