While gorillas are massive, strong creatures, they\u2019re usually calm and peaceful in nature. If a gorilla <em>does<\/em> act out, \u201cit\u2019s [typically] a lack of habituation,\u201d he states. Remember, these are wild animals in their own habitats. As humans, we are invading their spaces and must be respectful of them. Most gorilla trekking tours only involve gorillas that have been gradually habituated to tolerate human presence.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative col-body\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Silverback gorilla\" width=\"976\" height=\"549\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"fig-image-round\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/lo\/mysterio\/api\/a975dcf976f03b7f7c77069ebdcdd54d9bb2034512985434eedd94ec357efb90\/lightyear_networkapi\/resizefill_w976;quality_80;format_webp\/https:%2F%2Fmedia.zenfs.com%2Fen%2Fa_z_animals_articles_598%2Fdf223829489216875230f2ef710ca17f\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;expand&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;image-lightbox&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;lightbox-open&quot;}\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-[4] size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-[0.875rem]\/[1.25rem] mt-1 line-clamp-2 pr-2.5\">\n<div>\n<p>If a gorilla displays signs of aggression, it\u2019s crucial to remain calm and follow your guide\u2019s instructions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright\">\u00a9iStock.com\/hypergurl<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">\u201cThe more habituated the families are, the less likely they are to act out or become stressed,\u201d Browne explains. \u201cThat said, any number of things can cause habituated families, and in particular, the males to act up.
