Mountain Gorilla

10/27/2015 Gorilla beringei beringei There are many wild animals in the world are in danger. The mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) are one of the most threatened species in the world that inherited from monkeys (Macaca Fascicularis) and apes (Hominoidea), which was found in Africa and Arabia about 34-24 millions years ago. Mountain gorillas are Animalia, which phylum is Chordata and class of Mammalia. The mountain gorilla is a subspecies of eastern gorilla, which live in two

social habits, and even basic emotions. When it comes to the vast world of primates I must say my favorite one is the African mountain gorilla. I chose this primate because I believe they are some of the most magnificent of the primates. They share similar characteristics with humans and that by learning about them we can better understand ourselves. The mountain gorilla has been studied in a variety of different ways. A woman named Dian Fossey conducted the most prominent study. Dain Fossy took

Introduction: The Gorilla beringei beringei or mountain gorilla, was first discovered on October 17th 1902, by a German officer named Captain Robert von Beringe (Berggorilla and Direkthilfe, 2002). Mountain gorillas play a large role in it’s particular ecosystem through consumption the gorillas control and maintain vegetation that is vital for a healthy environment not only for the primate but also other species that live in the environment as well. Since the discovery of the mountain gorilla much fascination

resources could run out in the next few generations. One species, the mountain gorillas, contribute greatly to the well being of the earth and needs to be saved. Being the destroyers of the earth, I believe that it our duty to find a way repent for our negligence to our neighbors and environment. Mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei (scientific name) ), are critically endangered with only about 880 left in the wild. Mountain gorillas live in Africa’s national parks in protection. They can be found

know that gorillas have 98% of their DNA identical to humans? In this paper I’m going to be teaching you about gorillas and their habitat. Gorillas are large apes that are native to Africa. They are typically divided into two groups. The mountain gorilla lives in the mountainous regions of central Africa, while the lowland gorilla lives in the flat, dense forests of central and western Africa. Though the two types are very similar, they have a few differences. For example, mountain gorillas tend to

The Mountain Gorilla Gorilla beringei beringei is one of two subspecies of the Eastern Gorilla Gorilla beringei. They are found in two isolated population, firstly in the Virunga Volcanoes region which covers Uganda’s Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park and Democratic Republic of Congo’s Virunga National Park , and secondly in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in south-western Uganda (Robbins & Williamson , 2008) Research by Kalpers et al. in 2003 and Gray et al

Dian Fossey was an American primatologist who chose to dedicate two decades of her life studying the mountain gorillas of the Virunga Mountains in East Africa. She chose to report her study of the mountain gorillas in the form of a book called Gorillas in the Mist. It portrays the adventure, struggles, and realizations Dian Fossey experienced in her efforts to understanding the Mountain Gorillas lifestyle. When on a six-week long safari in Africa, Fossey was introduced to Dr. Louis Leaky who emphasized

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

Endangered Gorillas Did you know our closest animal relative is the gorilla? About 98% of the DNA in are genes are almost the exact same. Therefore we need to help them. In 1989 the population of the Mountain gorilla increased by 17% and by 2010 it had decreased by 26.5%. That shows how the gorilla population is always changing. Today there are less than 760. In this writing you will read about Mountain gorillas, Cross River gorillas, Dian Fossey, and ways to help. Mountain gorillas: The

Aim: My aim of this investigation is to research the lifestyle of the Mountain Gorilla which is a critically endangered species. Then to examine the threats posed to its population and the conservation measures in place for its population. Endangered Species: An endangered species face a huge risk of extinction in the coming years. This could be due to habitat loss, natural occurring disasters, pressure from other species and climate change. Sometimes the biggest factors due to population decrease
