The giant gorilla shares very few traits with his smaller counterpart and can be considered a completely different animal.

They are solitary animals who only cohabitate during mating season, with the females commonly using violence to drive males out of her territory as soon as her estrus period end. As one would expect, the female raises the young alone, until it reaches maturation, at which point she’ll stop recognizing it as hers and chase it out.

Giant gorillas are omnivorous mammals, with a preference for fruits and nuts, and will not actively hunt other animals.

Nevertheless, they will often kill smaller animals and brethren challenging them over their territory, in which case, they will eat their kills.

The life expectancy of the behemoth is estimated to be around fifty years, although that is in the wild, where they rarely see a natural death. Like most mammals, they fear fire and are weak to a wide variety of poison and diseases, some of them shared with humans.

There are many reports of tribes forming in the wild, but so far, it is unknown whether it is due to exceptional specimens, or because they are from a different species.

Their intelligence is without surprise, debated among scholars. Most think they are at least as intelligent as apes, while others point the lack of social gathering to be proof of their lesser intellect.

While many scholars have pointed that the formation of tribes in certain regions might be due to cultural differences, they have been mocked by the usual so-called academicians who dare to call themselves authorities on every matter, despite the fact they never left the heart of the kingdom or seen any of said animals.
