Mating is done while both gorillas are on the ground with the female (which is normally smaller than the dominant silverback) appearing to kneel on the ground while the male is on top throughout the copulation.
Also know, do gorillas have one mate for life?
While adult male and female gorillas may spend long periods of time together, gorillas don’t mate for life. Females can be seen transferring groups many times throughout their lives, giving them the opportunity to live with and produce offspring with many males.
In this regard, do gorillas love humans?
Mountain gorillas are very friendly and gentle animals though they are giant, muscular, intelligent and strong. Gorillas can indeed be trained and they get very close to humans like Dian Fossey who lived with mountain gorillas and had this to say “I feel more conformable being with gorillas than being around people”.
