Gorilla communication refers to the various ways in which gorillas convey information to one another. This includes vocalizations, body language, facial expressions, and gestures. Gorillas use sounds like grunts, roars, or hoots to express emotions like aggression, fear, or contentment. Their body posture and movements, such as puffing up or displaying behaviors, communicate dominance or submission. This communication helps maintain social bonds and establishes hierarchies within groups. Understanding gorilla communication provides insight into their complex social structures and emotional lives, paralleling how humans use nonverbal cues and tones in their interactions.
