Age range 8 to 10
Gorillas belong to the group of mammals called primates. These are animals with highly developed brains and gripping hands. Gorillas and their closest relatives -- chimpanzees, orangutans and humans -- are great apes. These primates have the largest brains. Monkeys and prosimians are also primates.

Primates have fingernails and toenails instead of claws.
