What are a gorilla's defenses?
Gorillas are large, strong apes (twice as heavy and four times as strong as a human) with powerful jaws and long canines. If pushed, they will use these adaptations to defend themselves.

Often a gorilla's primary means of defense constitutes a 'mere' fist-pounding display and bluff charge.

Why do males need more energy than females?
Generally, males require more energy than females because they have more muscle, and are bigger. This means they must have more energy to be healthy, because muscles burn energy as they work. Of course, it's not always the case that males need more energy than females. There are many other factors that influence our energy needs, besides gender. For example, common sense tells us that children and teenagers who are growing need more energy than older people, and pregnant women should have a higher energy intake than those who are not. Also, people who regularly take part in physical activity burn more energy than those who do not, so will need more energy to remain at a constant weight than those who do not exercise so often.
I think they do that because they don't have enough food.
