The correct answers are:

  • Gorillas live in social groups.
  • Most of the gorilla's day is spent feeding.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Gorillas live in social groups.

    • This statement is true. Gorillas are known to live in social groups called troops or bands, which are typically led by a dominant male known as a silverback.
  2. Gorillas spend little time in the trees.

    • This statement is generally true for adult gorillas, especially the larger species like the mountain gorilla, which are primarily terrestrial. However, younger gorillas and some species like the western lowland gorilla do spend more time in trees.
  3. Most of the gorilla's day is spent feeding.

    • This statement is true. Gorillas spend a significant portion of their day foraging and eating, as they require a large amount of food to sustain their large bodies.
  4. Gorillas shift between troops on a regular basis.

    • This statement is false. Gorillas do not typically shift between troops regularly. Once they are part of a troop, they usually stay with that group unless there are significant changes, such as the death of a silverback or other social disruptions.

Summary: The true statements about gorillas are that they live in social groups and that most of their day is spent feeding.
