Abstract: In this paper Clustering is implemented using the Gorilla Optimization Technique, a technique inspired by the social behavior of the Gorillas. As is known Gorillas are generally found in groups of 5 to 12 with silverback gorilla being the dominant and leader. The adolescent males generally split from parent group to form their own clusters. This behavior is used for formation of Clusters. The nodes with highest energy are chosen as Cluster heads and nodes with third highest energies breakaway to form their own Clusters attracting all unattached nodes. The process continues till all nodes join the cluster. Routing is implemented using the fittest node technique. Communication between two nodes takes place through the cluster heads of the source and destination clusters and a relay node in between. For selecting the relay nodes maximum residual energy and minimum distance between node and destination is considered.
