The Gorilla, the largest of the great apes, belongs to the genus Gorilla and is split into two primary species: the Western Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) and the Eastern Gorilla (Gorilla beringei). Often called Anthropoid apes or simply Great Apes of Africa, these majestic primates share 98% of their DNA with humans, making them our closest cousins after chimpanzees. If you are looking for gorilla facts and conservation information, it is important to distinguish between the four recognized subspecies. The Western Lowland Gorilla is the most widespread, while the Cross River Gorilla remains the rarest. In the mountainous Albertine Rift, you will find the famous Mountain Gorilla and the Eastern Lowland Gorilla, also known as Grauer’s gorilla. These critically endangered primates are masters of their environment, inhabiting the dense tropical rainforests of Central Africa and high-altitude cloud forests. As primarily herbivorous mammals, their diet consists of bamboo shoots, stems, and wild fruits, which they forage across the forest floor. A typical gorilla troop hierarchy is led by a dominant male known as a silverback gorilla, recognizable by the patch of silver hair on his back. For enthusiasts of primate photography and eco-tourism, observing these social animals in the wild offers a glimpse into complex family dynamics and communication. However, gorilla habitat loss and poaching continue to threaten their survival, making wildlife protection initiatives in Rwanda and Uganda essential. Whether you are studying mammalian biology or searching for the best places for gorilla trekking, understanding the difference between the lowland and montane subspecies is key. Protecting the biodiversity of the Congo Basin ensures that these gentle giants continue to thrive in their natural ancestral homes for generations to come.
