Solution

Gorillas usually reproduce per every four years after they attain an age of 10 years. They produce one offspring per each reproductive episode and twins are also produced rarely and reproduce usually for every 4 years. However, few offspring survive to the adulthood, which is the reason for their slow population growth. Similar to humans, gorillas follow type I survivorship curve.
