We're also the same way about showing our teeth. Smiling is so natural to us, but showing your teeth like that is generally seen as a sign of aggression for most animals.

Is at only among predators or herbivores too?

I can't think of any herbivores that bare their teeth. I can't think of any herbivores that fight much with their teeth, so baring them would have no reason to be seen as aggressive.

Not sure about gorillas but I don't think so actually... Mostly pounding isn't it

It's pretty similar with humans as well. When you smile you only show a tiny bit of teeth maybe sometimes a little more. But go up to a mirror, rise your upper lip to expose you teeth and you'll look vicious af.
