Can you tame a gorilla? While taming a mountain gorilla might be possible in theory, it is practically impossible. Mountain gorillas are critically endangered, and taming them for pets or other purposes is not allowed.
Mountain gorillas were nearly wiped out due to poaching. Some people hunted them to sell baby gorillas abroad for the pet trade.
Even though gorillas can be calm and gentle, they can become very aggressive if disturbed. So, taming them is not as easy as it may seem. Also, the authorities protecting gorillas in national parks will not give permission to tame them.
It is important to remember that no matter how much you try to tame a wild animal, you must be very careful. Wild animals can change suddenly and show their natural wild behavior.
It might be easier to tame a baby mountain gorilla by feeding it, but keep in mind that the mother will always protect her baby. This can cause the female gorilla to charge at you.
Some gorilla families have been habituated, which means they are used to humans being near them in the wild.
Many mountain gorillas do not survive long in zoos, so the best way to see them is to travel to Africa and go on a gorilla trek.
On a gorilla trek, you can spend about an hour with these close relatives of ours.
In conclusion, it is very hard to tame a wild gorilla. Before even thinking about it, you should consider the dangers and harm an aggressive mountain gorilla can cause.
