Gorillas breed really well in captivity. The main thing to remember is that gorillas are, in a way, similar to humans. They don't necessarily always get on straight away, so when new gorillas are introduced to each other it can take months and months to get them used to each other. But when the gorillas finally click, they usually and hopefully breed very well.
