Majestic, powerful, and endangered—the gorilla is a true Classy Savage of the wild.
Strength with Grace
World Gorilla Day, observed every year on September 24, honors one of Earth’s most iconic great apes. The date commemorates the founding of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, named after the legendary primatologist who dedicated her life to protecting gorillas in Africa.
In 2025, the gorilla remains a symbol of raw strength paired with surprising tenderness. These Classy Savage creatures live in tightly knit families, showing intelligence, empathy, and resilience. Yet their existence is threatened by habitat destruction, poaching, and disease. World Gorilla Day is a call to action—to respect their strength, protect their habitats, and ensure that this powerful species thrives for generations.
