"What do you mean Hippos are the most dangerous animal in Africa?! My creationist first grade teacher told me that herbivores are all weak little prey animals that exist to be eaten by big strong predators!"

The only natural predator of the gorilla is the leopard (some leopards have been seen preying on unguarded juvenile gorillas), so I guess technically whether or not gorillas are on the top of the food chain depends on their age.
Sadly, humans presently and historically hunted gorillas for food as well, along with habiy destruction and hunting for sport it's part of the reason they are so endangered, and has been one of the issues faced by conservationists.
