Drawing Challenge for week #8: Draw a gorilla

Hello members of steemkids community. I trust you all are doing great. I am glad to join in this week's contest that is used to be organized by @ngoenyi, but this week's own is organized by @eliany. The week #8 contest is to draw a gorilla. Let me tell you a little about gorillas.

Describe a gorilla?

A gorilla is a member of the ape family. In fact, information has it that the DNA of a gorilla is very close to that of man. And that account for why they are very intelligent creatures. They possess much power, they eat a lot and their food is mainly vegetables. They can eat a whole day. They do not have tails and they usually live in groups which means that they do not live in isolation.

They are mammals which means they give birth to their young ones and they also breastfeed their young ones. Their young ones like playing a lot. Gorilla chests are usually broad and they like beating their chest especially the adult ones. They can lift very heavy loads up.

What qualities does a gorilla possess?

A gorilla exhibits many qualities. First is that they are highly intelligent, you can observe that from their behavior. I can also say that they are social animals, they like interacting within themselves. They do not stay in isolation, they form close family ties. They display nice qualities like being gentle and they are not aggressive except when they feel threatened. They can even play and protect human babies.

Have you seen one before? If yes, where?

The fact is that I have not seen a life gorilla before. That type of animal is not popular in my area. I have only seen gorillas on television while watching tv programs. They are also not easily seen in zoos around my place too. But I hope that one day, I would be able to see a life one maybe in one of the park reserves.

Are they important to man?

Gorillas are important to man. Its true that Gorillas can not be used as pets because they are not domestic animals irrespective of efforts used in taming them but man can learn something great from them. Man can learn a lot from the qualities exhibited by Gorillas.

For example they show affection and sympathy to their family members. Man can learn from their high level of creativity and intelligence, always inventing new ways to solve its problems.
