	Western gorilla - Gorilla gorilla: More Information - ARKive
		Western gorillas are smaller and lighter bodied than eastern gorillas, because they must be agile climbers in order to reach fruits in the trees (10).
		Western gorillas live in groups that vary in size between 2 and 20 individuals, composed of at least one male, several females and their offspring (2).
		The decline in gorilla numbers is mainly attributed to the loss and degradation of their forest habitat, which has been relentlessly cleared to make way for agricultural and logging practices (3).

	Mountain Gorilla, Article by Adrian Warren - page 1 of 6
		Gorillas and chimpanzees generally travel along the ground, using the knuckles of their hands as an extra pair of feet.
		The modern apes are all essentially vegetarian: gorillas are predominantly leaf-eaters; only the chimpanzees include a significant proportion of meat in their diet, sometimes hunting cooperatively for colobus monkeys or other medium-sized mammals and they will even share food.
		In the gorillas' social structure where the breeding in any one group is almost exclusively by a single silverback male, periodic movement of females between groups is essential to ensure genetic variety and to prevent inbreeding, a peril in small populations.

	the Living Africa: wildlife - primates - gorilla
		Mountain gorillas live in forests between 9200 and 11,200 ft (2800-3499 m) and occasionally are found in meadows at around 13,000 ft (4000 m).
		On cold or rainy days, the mountain gorilla will stay huddled together for warmth and tend not to get anything accomplished while other gorilla will spend 30% of their time feeding, 30% traveling, and 40% resting.
		In some regions the mortality rate is as high as 46% which means that if a male lives for 40 years he will only leave 2 to 6 living offspring or 10 to 20 if he lives to be 50 to 60 years of age.
