Why is a gorilla not a good pet?

Answer 1

The only reason I see for a Gorilla as a not so good pet is simply because they grow very large therefore require a lot of space and area to move and explore about. Gorilla's are the most gentle and loving creatures the earth has ever seen. Gorillas have tremendous strength yet they are quiet peaceful creatures that only get angry when mistreated or if they have to defend their family. Gorilla's will never kill a human nor rip their face off if you take care of them and give them constant love and affection. Gorilla's like all apes need to feel safe and loved. To have a Gorilla as a pet u need a lot of things like medicine , a vet for vaccines, a place to put your gorilla, Gorilla food and treats, and u need to have the gorilla constantly entertained or the gorilla like the chimp and others , will get bored , lonely , and won't listen to you, it might even try to attack u in frustration.

It is very hard to get these supplies for the gorilla because Gorilla treats and food aren't found in pet shops like dog food and cat food is. A vet of apes is also extremely rare.

U also need to bathe your gorilla and clean its poop. Are u sure u want that?

It is not recommended for anyone to try and get a baby gorilla , because though they are cute and harmless , babies require special foods like a special milk that only the mother gorilla can give.

Gorillas are very playful though and just like a dog, gorillas can be a man's best friend. U can teach Gorilla to do tricks and give it rewards. Gorilla pets have been known to fight off intruders in order to protect their owners. very loyal yes

because they're wild animals and they expect to live in a "jungle type" environment more than a home made of bricks
