Gorillas belong to the Hominidae family, which also includes chimpanzees, bonobos, and orangutans.
They can express themselves in many different ways including disgust, burping, smiling, anxiety, grief, and more.
When it comes to burping they do it even to express contentment.
Just found this interesting and thought I'd share.
Many animals, including humans, burp when eating food as there is an increased intake of air.

Somehow I don't believe that..they are not human so do not have human emotions. Though they are smart.

They are really cool intelligent animals.
Humans have given them lots to be anxious about and no doubt caused them much grief.

@RasmaSandra Orangutan''s , elephants, dolphins, whales all said to be highly intelligent and experience emotion. Dogs too
Did you see the latest from San Diego zoo? That 5. 8 or what ever it was earthquake. The elephants formed a school circle around the baby elephants to keep them safe.

I discovered too that Gorillas are generally shy and reserved around people which I did not know. They will avoid humans and only attack if provoked or threatened.
Yes, so true. Gorillas have developed sophisticated methods of communication including expressing emotions that are vital for their survival and social bonding.
