Your little ones will grasp a lot of information through these free printable gorilla face coloring pages. The gorilla is a mammal who is considered to be the long-lost relative of humans. Their DNA is the closest to human DNA.

Gorillas are mostly jet black in colour and have no tails. Their face is usually long and a wide forehead attached to it.


Other features on their face are prominent brow ridges, huge nostrils, and short snout or muzzle. They have small ears and small eyes. Gorillas are categorized as eastern gorillas and western gorillas.

Western gorillas have huge jaw muscles. They have broad, strong teeth and coarse hair, with jet black body hair color. The only hairless body parts are their face, feet, hands, and ears.

When they mature sexually, the males, in particular, acquire a saddle of silver and gray across their backs and upper thighs. Thus they are often called silverback.

This silver-gray breaks up the entire black body, which creates an illusion of increased body length and even greater size. Did you know? Gorillas are known to live in small groups called bands or troops.
