Answer: A baby gorilla is called an infant, just like a human newborn.
When gorillas are born, they weigh about 4 1/2 pounds. They develop quickly and are walking within six months
Gorillas are ground-dwelling and live in groups of 6-12 with the oldest and largest silverback leading a family of females, their young and younger males called blackbacks. The silverback makes the decisions on when his group wakes up, eats, moves and rests for the night. Because he must protect his family at all times, the silverback tends to be the most aggressive. In such situations, he will beat his chest and charge at the perceived threat.
The DNA of gorillas is highly similar to that of humans, from 95–99% depending on what is counted, and they are the next closest living relatives to humans after the chimpanzees and bonobos.
A baby gorilla is called an infant, just like a human newborn.Gorillas remain with their mothers until they are between 4 and 6 years old. Because of these dependent youngsters, females give birth only once or twice a decade. Gorillas are not fully adult until they are about 10 years old. At this age, a gorilla is ready to reproduce, so it seeks a mate. Several females and their offspring live in groups led by one protective adult male, the silverback. Gorillas have a life span of about 50 years.
