Look at this big, gentle gorilla! He is standing high up on a strong, thick tree branch in his forest home. His large, sturdy feet grip the wood safely as he balances with calm strength.

In his two powerful yet careful hands, he holds a big, bright yellow banana. He has just lifted it to his mouth and is about to peel it open with his teeth before enjoying the sweet fruit inside.

The gorilla's face is full of happy excitement — he has a friendly smile that crinkles the corners of his kind eyes. He looks like he can’t wait to taste his favorite snack!

Gorillas are very smart and social animals. They live together in family groups, share food, groom each other, and protect their loved ones.

Even though they are big and strong, they spend most of their time eating plants, fruits, and leaves, and resting peacefully in the forest.

If you also love this gorilla happily enjoying his banana, follow the step-by-step instructions below to draw him! You can even draw his family beside him!
