The Western Lowland Gorilla [Gorilla gorilla gorilla] is the largest of the living primates. Males can reach 6 feet in height and weigh 400 pounds - females can be up to 5 feet, weighing 200 pounds. This species ranges in colour from black to brown-gray with a coat that turns gray with age. Adult males have a "saddle" of silvery-white hair on their back running down to their rump and thighs. The average lifespan of the Gorilla in the wild is about 35 years. In zoos, they can live up to 50 years. The Western Lowland Gorilla's native habitat is the forests and lowland swamps of central Africa. Gorillas live in family groups called "troops" that consist of one dominant silverback male, several adult females and their adolescents and children. There many be a few non-dominant males as well. Mothers have one baby about every five years. Want to know
