During mating season, which typically occurs once a year, male gorillas may engage in displays of dominance to attract females. These displays can include chest-beating, charging, and vocalizations. The dominant male will usually mate with the females in his group and will fiercely defend his position against any challengers.

Once a female gorilla becomes pregnant, the gestation period lasts for around 8.5 months, and typically results in the birth of a single offspring. The mother will care for and protect her newborn for several years, and the father may also provide some level of protection and support for the mother and offspring.

Honestly, the sexual activity of gorillas is mostly the same as humans. However, it is not accurate to describe them as “sexually faithful.” Gorillas are polygynous animals, which means that males mate with multiple females. In a gorilla troop, there is typically one dominant silverback male who has exclusive mating rights with the females in his group. However, female gorillas have been observed mating with multiple males, including males from other troops.
