Gorilla habituation is a taming / training process of wild gorillas so that they get used to human presence. Habituation involves studying the behavior of each individual gorillas by trained researchers who visit these wild apes every day analyzing the best way they can relate and communicate with the gorillas. In the long run, they learn how to talk, give names, interact and be at ease with each other.
