Baby Gorilla

Baby Gorillas are called infants just like in humans. They grow and develop much quicker than human babies. They usually begin playing, smiling, and bouncing at 8 weeks. At about 9 weeks they begin crawling. Exploration of their environment and object manipulation begins around 3 months of age. They are able to stand at 20 weeks and at 34 weeks they are usually walking and traveling short distances from their mothers. Around 6 to 7 months of age, the infants are able to climb on their mothers' backs and ride.
Babies will begin eating some vegetation at around 2.5 months and make it the majority of their diet by 6 to 7 months.
