Yes, gorillas have the ability to walk upright on two legs like humans for short distances. However, they primarily move using their knuckles and the soles of their feet, a form of locomotion called knuckle-walking.
Gorillas may walk upright on two legs for a few reasons, such as to reach food in trees or to move through shallow water. It is also believed that walking upright helps them see over tall grass and communicate with other gorillas in their group.
No, it is not a natural behavior for gorillas. They primarily move using their knuckles and the soles of their feet, and only occasionally walk upright for specific purposes.
No, not all gorillas have the ability to walk upright. Mountain gorillas, the largest and most commonly studied gorilla species, have been observed walking upright. However, other gorilla species such as western lowland gorillas and eastern lowland gorillas have not been observed doing so.
Gorillas have a similar skeletal structure to humans, with their arms and legs attached to a central torso. Their arms are longer in proportion to their legs, allowing them to use their knuckles for support when walking upright. They also have a flexible spine, which allows them to balance and move in a more upright position.
