They require large and diverse areas of the forest to meet their habitat requirements. Natural habitats of the Cross River Gorilla are becoming homes for humans and humans are deplenishing the natural resources found in or around the gorillas’ habitats. Drastic deforestation and fragmentation of the land have ruined their habitats and lowered the carrying capacity of the habitats. These gorillas have a very distinct and unusual behavior. They have learned to protect themselves
