A group of gorillas is called a “band” or a “troop.” Typically, a band consists of a dominant silverback male, several females, and their offspring. The silverback leads the group and is responsible for its protection and social dynamics. Troops can vary in size and composition, but they usually stay together to care for the young and forage for food. This social structure is vital for the survival of the group, as it allows them to share resources and communicate effectively.
