Western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) are part of the order Primates because they can be distinguished by their highly dexterous hands and feet (Schmidlin et al., 2011). They also have a higher-functioning brain region known as the neocortex, which is a characteristic seen in primates (Kaas, 2012). Additionally, they, like most primates, have a tendency to rely more on vision than their olfactory senses (Myers, 2000). Their flat face with eyes facing forward, in addition to their

The Western Lowland Gorillas are critically endangered animals that require our protection and support. The Western Lowland Gorillas’ greatest threat is poaching the gorillas for food and the destruction of their natural habitat. Wildlife preserves are constructed, but the poaching continues due to unstable governments and high price of the gorillas’ meat. The governments in African countries must be stabilized to prevent poaching and destruction of the Western Lowland Gorillas habitat or these

On the 28th of May 2016, a 3 yr old child climbed through 4 barriers into gorilla habitat at Cincinatti Zoo and Botanical Gardens in Cincinatti, Ohio. There were 3 gorillas in habitat at the time, 1 male and 2 females. The male gorilla came upon the child and dragged him through moat away from screaming spectators. With a child in the same habitat and in close

Harambe was a western lowland gorilla. “Because of poaching and disease, the gorilla’s numbers have declined by more than 60% over the last 20 to 25 years. Even if all of the threats to western lowland gorillas were removed, scientists calculate that the population would require some 75 years to recover.” (WWF) According to the World Wildlife Fund, western lowland gorillas are critically endangered. “Critically endangered (CR) is a species facing

“Single-trial learning of "what" and "who" information in a gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla): implications for episodic memory” 1. “The authors refer to “episodic-like memory” as the kind of episodic memory present in nonhuman animals. Based on the rationale provided by the authors in the introduction of the article, as well as on the characteristics of episodic memory postulated by Tulving, explain how episodic-like memory is similar to and how it is different from human episodic memory?(8 points)”

Our Group is doing the Eastern Lowland Gorilla. There habitat is Tropical forest and jungles in mountainous regions in central Africa. The eastern lowland gorilla is an omnivorous animal, but the majority of it's diet is made up of eating fruit which the eastern lowland gorilla is known to travel vast distances through the forests to find. Due to their large size, they have very few predators, consisting of large cats and crocodiles. There most dangerous predators are humans. These animals are are
