Majestic and impressive, the mountain gorilla lives in the high-altitude forests of Central Africa. Its thicker fur than that of other gorillas protects it from the cold of mountainous regions. Despite its powerful size, this large primate is a peaceful herbivore that feeds mainly on leaves, stems, and wild fruits.
Mountain gorillas live in close-knit groups, led by a dominant male called a "silverback." Protective and attentive, he ensures the safety of the troop and the cohesion of the clan. Important fact: this rare species is now classified as endangered, and its preservation is a major issue for biodiversity.
This Papo figurine realistically recreates the mountain gorilla: thick fur, imposing muscles, and a proud attitude. An ideal piece to complete a wild animal collection, invent exciting adventures, or educate children about the protection of endangered species.
