Hello, my name is [Muhamad Rizki]. I am from class [nine two]. Today, I will read a text about gorillas. --- Gorillas Gorillas are the largest apes in the world. Gorillas are our closest cousins because they share ninety-eight point three percent of their genetic code with humans. Their scientific name is Gorilla beringei beringei. Gorillas have broad shoulders and chests, human-like hands, small eyes, and hairless faces. They have black skin and hair. Their nostrils are large. Gorillas have behaviors and also emotions. They can laugh and show their sadness. Gorillas only live in tropical forests of Africa. We can find gorillas in the rain forests of Cameroon and Congo. Gorillas are herbivores. They eat leaves, shoots, and stalks. They also sometimes eat fruits. Gorillas live in a family group of six until thirty. The group is led by a group leader. The leader is called a silverback. The leader is a male gorilla who will be a leader for years. The females become mature when they are seven until eight years old. Gorillas give birth to only one baby every four to six years. It makes the gorilla’s population decrease every year. They are now endangered species. --- That’s all my reading text about gorillas. Thank you for listening.
