Gorilla Research Paper

Have you ever wondered about gorillas? A gorilla is a very strong built great ape with a large head and short neck. Gorillas are the largest member of the primate family. Gorillas are quiet, shy, peaceful, and live in central Africa and tropical rainforests. Several thousand years ago, gorillas split from its closest relative the chimpanzees. There are four types of gorillas, being Eastern lowland, Western lowland, mountain, and cross river gorillas. Ecology is how organism interact with one another

Common name- Gorilla Scientific name- Gorilla gorilla class- mammalia order- primata family- pongidae genus- gorilla      The gorillas live mainly in coastal West Africa in the Congo, Zaire, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon.

There are three different kinds of gorillas. The eastern

Background: The western lowland gorilla, scientific name Gorilla gorilla gorilla, lives in the tropic lowland forests and swamps of central Africa where they can find dense ground level vegetation, specifically in Cameroon, Central African Republic (CAR), Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Congo, and Angola (Walsh et al, 2008). Yellow: Native, Red: Extinct, (Source IUCN Red List) They are the smallest of the gorilla subspecies, with the females only reaching about half the size of the silverback

Gorilla beringei beringei, more commonly known as the Mountain Gorilla, is one of the most sexually dimorphic species of primates in existence. Sexual dimorphism is a phenotypic difference between males and females of the same species. The prototypical example is for differences in reproductive organs, but sexual dimorphism can affect many different characteristics. In mallard ducks for example, the male’s feathers are colored bright green, on its head in order to help attract the brown headed females

into the Gorilla World Habitat in the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden. As a result, the boy was in an extremely dangerous situation with a male silverback gorilla named Harambe. The ginormous gorilla dragged the helpless little boy around, disorienting the little boy. After a while, when the boy was in critical condition, zoo officials had to shoot and kill the gorilla just to keep the little boy safe. Luckily the boy survived this incident. Although the decision to shoot the gorilla was controversial

The Gorilla King (nature/wildlife documentary) is the story about mountain gorillas that begins hundreds of thousands of years ago when volcanos of Congo erupt. This volcano eruption led these gorillas to find their new place in high mountains to live. In the film, Veronica and Felix are observing Titus, whose is 33 years old male silverback and ruling over 25 gorillas by his share of presence. He looks after ten females, four males, 16 ages, and four youngsters. Actually, Titus is being observed

The Virunga Gorillas is endangered but smart and amazing species. The Virunga National Park or NKP is located in the Democratic Republic of Congo and “is home to nearly 200 gorillas” The Virunga Gorilla is a massive animal. It has a short trunk and broad chest and shoulders. the Virunga Gorillas have a large head and hairless, shiny black eyes and ears. There has been a argument whether or not to keep the mountain gorillas in a nature reserve or to let them stay in their own habitat. My personal

WESTERN LOWLAND GORILLA I did my project on the lowland gorilla. I chose this animal because lowland gorillas are very uniques and I think that there are one of the most recognizable in the apes family. The scientific name for the lowland gorilla is the Gorilla beringei graueri. Western lowland gorillas are found in protected areas, and in many logging concessions. In the mid-2000 the western lowland gorillas population number were 150,000 - 200,000. They did the test again and they found out

Zoo Gorilla Taken Deceased After Kid Goes into Enclosure: How These Disasters Can Be Prevented My weblogs are normally about pets. As a creature fan, however, I am so angered and saddened by the latest occurrence at the Cincinnati Zoo that I can’t help but talk out. Piecing together various records, here’s what happened: A 4-year-old boy indexed through a hurdle and dropped into a gorilla housing. Zookeepers quickly shifted the 2 women gorillas into another position, but the 17-year old men gorilla
