Gorilla 

Name: Gorilla gorilla

Habitat:

 

Gorillas live in the tropical or subtropical forests of central Africa.  It is a relatively small area but covers a wide range of elevations, from high mountains to swamps at sea level.

 
Description:
 

They are the largest of the primates, with 98-99% of their DNA the same as their closest relatives, the Chimpanzees and Humans. Males are large, up to 1.8 m tall and 140-200 kg. females are smaller and much lighter. Gorillas are social, living in groups of 5-25 called ‘troops’ usually led by a dominant male ‘Silverback’. They are highly intelligent and can be taught some sign language.  Like all great apes they have been observed in the wild using simple tools.

 

Status:

 

Both species are endangered, due to poaching and habitat destruction.  Also, the existing populations are susceptible to illnesses such as ebola virus.
