Western Lowland Gorilla

1194 days ago via viatravelers    Discuss    all
Western lowland gorillas are the smallest gorilla subspecies but are still quite large, weighing 68 to 181 kilograms. Males are significantly larger than females and stand 1.2 to 1.8 meters tall when upright, though they usually move about on all fours. In fact, their hands are equipped with special callouses to make the classic gorilla “knuckle-walking” easier.
