The common name is Mountain Gorilla. The scientific name is Gorilla Beringei Beringei. They have long thin dark hair to trap in heat for the freezing cold nights and to keep them cool in the warm days. They build nest in trees, on the ground, or on the side of a hill. They have to have a nest to sleep but it doesn't matter where the nest is. They use touch to communicate and keep the groups close. schmitza939 https://padlet.com/eubanksc183/mc0wtmj6dxxk/wish/230644742 2018-02-12 15:40:05 UTC https://padlet.com/eubanksc183/mc0wtmj6dxxk/wish/230644742 dumasd746 https://padlet.com/eubanksc183/mc0wtmj6dxxk/wish/230645146
