"Disrespect" doesn't translate well between Human and animals. Gorillas are generally not considered aggressive, but Silverbacks are the protectors of their group. If a person is perceived as a threat, gets too close, is too noisy, things like that, they might decide to act. Since the number of recorded attacks is very small, it's hard to tell with any accuracy what will happen. It'll usually start with some display behaviour, standing upright, chest drumming, that kind of thing. Then maybe a mock charge, where the animal rushes in, and then stops just short of impact.

Anyone foolish enough not to take THAT hint may well face a full-on assault the next time.

When gorillas fight other gorillas, it's usually mostly like Wrestling combined with biting, so if a gorilla got properly angry with a human, that's probably what it'll do.

If it's not quite that angry, it might settle for tackling you to the ground and throw you about a bit.

Either way, they're very strong animals that can do a lot of damage very fast. Best is not to get them angry.

Do gorillas show emotions?

Yes, gorillas do show a range of emotions similar to humans. They can express joy, grief, anger, and affection, often through body language, vocalizations, and facial expressions. For instance, gorillas may hug each other, display playful behavior, or exhibit signs of distress when a group member is in trouble. Their emotional depth reflects their complex social structures and strong family bonds.


Is a gorilla reproduced internal or external?

I don't get what you mean by "reproduced internal or external". So I just give some insight about the reproduction cycle of Gorillas. Female gorillas begin to breed at about 9 years of age. The female menstruates about every 28 days and may mate in any season. Just like female human beings, femal gorillas also bear their infants for almost 9 months (pregnancy period). Female usually gives birth to a single infants (occasionally twins). A female normally produces 3 to 6 offspring in her lifetime and becoming pregnant ang giving birth on the average every four years.
