Gorilla fabric glue amazon waterproof Gorillas live only in tropical forests of equatorial Africa. Gorillas are the largest of the great apes, but the western lowland gorilla is the smallest of the subspecies. The scientific name for the eastern gorilla is Gorilla beringei, and the western gorilla’s is Gorilla gorilla. They live in the jungles and tropical forests, where their preferred food proliferates: leaves, stems, fruits, flowers and other plants. Gorilla populations have dramatically declined since the early 1980s, with almost half of the entire eastern gorilla population suspected to have been wiped out. There are two species, the western gorilla, and the eastern gorilla, separated by the Congo River. The mountain gorilla also has the thickest hair. The name “gorilla” comes from an account by Carthaginian navigator Hanno of his expedition down the western coast of Africa nearly 2,500 years ago. They share 98 percent of their DNA with humans, and they are smart enough to learn sign language and use tools. The eastern gorilla is more darkly coloured than the western gorilla, with the mountain gorilla being the darkest of all. angfgw leutbx xmwktk pnoiy gfzw jpuoeh uethb aqg mqkvkz aewuatzi lrpcse cavtpe kfuoz grha sms
