Gorilla mother with her baby (Photo taken at Rwanda Volcanoes National Park) They carry one or two babies at a time and give birth after an eight and a half-month gestation period. A mountain gorilla will never chase you when you are facing it and looking directly into its eyes. However, you should know that when threatened they can be aggressive. They beat their chests and let out angry grunts and roars. Group leaders will charge at the threat and mothers will fight to the death to protect their young.
