The gorilla is the largest living primate and is divided into two species and four or five subspecies. 92 ~ 98% of the gorilla's DNA is identical to that of a human being and after the chimpanzee, the gorilla is the closest living relative to the human.
The gorilla is a ground living herbivore and lives in the forests of Africa. Gorilla's move around by knuckle-walking ~ that is that they walk on the knuckles of their hands. The male adult gorilla can weigh a hefty 310 ~ 365 pounds and measure up to five foot nine in height. The female is around half the weight of the male. A female gorilla is pregnant for eight and a half months and they usually wait three to four years between births. The baby gorilla's usually stay with their mothers for three to four years. The gorilla's lifespan is around 30 ~ 50 years.
Almost all gorillas share the same type B blood group and just like humans, every gorilla has its own unique fingerprints.
