How much space do gorillas use?

Gorillas typically require a habitat that spans several square miles to thrive, depending on factors such as food availability and the specific species. In the wild, a group of gorillas may occupy a territory ranging from 1 to 15 square kilometers (0.4 to 5.8 square miles). Their home range is influenced by the availability of food sources and the social structure of the group. Conservation efforts aim to protect these habitats to ensure their survival.
