How long do gorillas live?
A3: In captivity, gorillas typically live into their 40’s and 50’s, with females outliving males (who tend to lead more stressful lives, as their fundamental job of protecting their families is difficult to achieve in captivity). Gorillas in the wild tend not to live as long as gorillas in captivity; largely due to the threats (or apparent threats) of human hunting and infringment of their habitats.
