Western Lowland Gorilla

Have you ever wondered about the Mountain gorilla and how they are disappearing quicker than they are reproducing? Well you are right because the mountain gorillas are vanishing from the environment very quickly. Mountain Gorilla’s are important to our ecosystem. If we don’t protect them now they will go extinct. The Mountain Gorilla is a 5 foot to 6 foot 440 to 500 pound beast of muscle, but just because this huge animal is strong and tough it can’t always handle what we are doing them.

Primate Behavior 8 February 2017 Mountain Gorilla Behavior Apes and primates come in all different shapes and sizes. They all exhibit different characteristics and most importantly different behaviors that separate these different primates. The thing that is the most fascinating is really how similar they are to us. The similarities go past structure, similarities can also be seen in their behavior and how they think similar to a rational human being. Gorillas are the biggest primate currently alive

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

analyze the differences between primates, both gorillas and monkeys as well as the shared traits with humans in terms of observed behaviors. More importantly, emphasis will be made on the contributing differences between primates in relation to humans. Additionally, the effects of captivity will be studied through its influence of behavior of both primates. In studying of our closest living relatives, the Primates, I observed the Western Lowland Gorilla and the Common Squirrel Monkey. I visited the

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

Have you heard about a gorilla who can do sign language? Well, if you haven’t, this report will focus on this gorilla's early life, her mid life, and life today. First of all, born on July 4, 1971, was a female western lowland gorilla. What’s so important about this gorilla? Well, this gorilla was special, of course nobody knew she was special when she was born, but as she got older, people started realizing how special this gorilla was. Hanabiko, it means fireworks child, due to her birth date

poaching entirely should be a priority, and with help, it can be stopped. At current rates, elephants and rhinos may be completely killed off within our lifetime. Some other animals that are on the verge of endangerment, due to poaching, are the gorilla, the lion, and the zebra. These were not the first animals, however, to be this close to extinction. The quagga - a zebra like mammal, whose hide faded into a solid color - was actually a real animal at one time. Its existence only lasted until the

where his job is to feed the western lowland gorillas every afternoon at the Congo Gorilla Forest exhibit. Every day he goes to work and sees many people at the petting section of the zoo, where they try to feed the goats, sheep, or donkeys behind a fence for three dollars. He would walk by and smile. When it comes time to feed the gorillas, he would grab a pile of fruits and put it on a metal plate.

apes are. Actually, bonobo and chimpanzees are apes and have similarity genetic code with a human. However, gorillas also share same genetic to human and they mostly have similar behaviors like a human, like eat food, move, or shape like hands. The author Kristina Cawthon Lang “National Primate Research Center in Wisconsin” talked about what is the difference of the behaviors between a gorilla, chimpanzee, and bonobo. The author Lewis, R B, Robert Jurmain and Lynn Kilgore talked in the book “Understanding
