Consider these benefits and then decide! Gorillas, like many other social animals, are dependent on stable family groups for survival and well-being. For Mountain gorilla groups, around 40% of them contain several closely related adult males. Bend your arm and, leading with your elbow and keeping your wrist straight, row the weight up and into your lower ribs.

Despite inhabiting rugged terrain, researchers have utilized alternative evidence, such as numbers and locations of nests, to estimate the gorilla population. It is theorized that there are just 200 or 300 of these gorillas left in their natural habitat, making them one of the most endangered primates on the planet. This is very similar to our own behaviour when eating delicious food and emphasising this by also making ‘mmmmm’ sounds.” How long does a gorilla live? Eastern lowland gorillas have more diverse diets, which vary seasonally. Leaves and pith are commonly eaten, but fruits can make up as much as 25% of their diets. Since fruit is less available, lowland gorillas must travel farther each day, and their home ranges vary from 2.7 to 6.5km 2 (1.0 to 2.5sqmi), with day ranges 154–2,280m (0.096–1.417mi). Eastern lowland gorillas will also eat insects, preferably ants. [41] Western lowland gorillas depend on fruits more than the others and they are more dispersed across their range. [42] They travel even farther than the other gorilla subspecies, at 1,105m (0.687mi) per day on average, and have larger home ranges of 7–14km 2 (2.7–5.4sqmi). [42] Western lowland gorillas have less access to terrestrial herbs, although they can access aquatic herbs in some areas. Termites and ants are also eaten. The average weight of a newborn baby gorilla is 2 kg; 4.4 lb. comparatively similar to the average human birth weight at (2.5 kg).

Cross river gorillas do not vary by a significant degree in terms of external size morphology from their lowland counterparts, but they can be distinguished from them using their dentition and skull morphology.

The thumb and big toe of gorillas oppose the other digits (fingers/toes), enabling them to grasp and manipulate objects. The Mountain gorilla has a more diverse diet, consuming parts of at least 142 plant species, with only 3 types of fruit available due to the high altitude. They must rely heavily on leaves, shoots, and stems, which comprise 86% of their diet. Baby Gorillas like to play with their elders or other young gorillas. They wrestle, tumble, climb trees, and even form a chain and walk through the forest. a b c d Groves, C. (2002). "A history of gorilla taxonomy" (PDF). In Taylor, A. B.; Goldsmith, M. L. (eds.).

Females and young gorillas climb more than males, as much vegetation cannot support the weight of the larger males.

The Western lowland gorilla consumes parts of at least 97 plant species, with 67% of their diet consisting of fruit. Gorillas are the largest primates, with a huge appetite for leaves, shoots, stems, roots and fruit. An adult consumes 18–20kg of food daily, mainly foliage, and will swallow many large seeds intact. As gorilla families move through the forest to forage, they defecate, thereby depositing seeds far away from the parent trees. Now that you know the two basic groups that the gorilla genera is divided into, let us discuss about the range mass of each category of gorillas including their individual subspecies (when necessary). There are two gorilla species in the world: the eastern gorilla and the western gorilla. The mountain gorilla is a subspecies of the eastern gorilla.
