Product Information

Western gorrilas inhabit west central Africa; and are only separated from their eastern cousins by the second largest river (by discharge volume) in Africa (the congo river) and its tributaries. Recycling cell phones and electronics can also make a big impact. Many of these products contain metals that are mined from gorilla habitats. By recycling them, we can reduce the demand for these metals and help protect gorillas and their homes. At around 7 to 10 years, the young gorilla will become mature enough to have its own offspring. At this point, the gorilla will leave its mother's group to find a mate. Gorillas can live around 35 years in the wild and more than 50 years in zoos, according to the WWF. Classification/taxonomy

For gorilla infants, their survival is based entirely on their mothers. Male gorillas are not actively involved in caring for offspring, but they play a critical part in teaching them how to socialize with other youngsters. As infants grow, they briefly break away from their mothers at five months old. The population of Western lowland gorillas is unknown because they live in some of the densest and most remote rainforests in central Africa. However, significant populations can still be found in isolated swamps and swampy forests of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Still, their numbers have drastically dwindled due to poaching and disease. The average weight of a newborn baby gorilla is 2 kg; 4.4 lb. comparatively similar to the average human birth weight at (2.5 kg). Just as with the western gorillas, the eastern species are also divided into two sub species namely: Deltoids– there are three sets of fibers or heads that make up the deltoids; anterior, medial, and posterior. All three are involved in gorilla rows. However, the posterior or rear deltoids are most active as they work with your lats to extend your shoulders.However, in the case of eastern lowland gorilla groups, female gorillas can remain in the same place, waiting for a new dominant male to arrive and protect them. The weight of fully grown male eastern gorilla is 140 to 205 kg i.e. 309 to 453 lb while that of female gorillas is 90 to 100 kg i.e. 200 to 220 lb. Their arms are strong because they use it for bending and gathering foliage. It also helps them in self defense. Eastern gorillas are the largest of the two species of gorillas. They unfortunately however, are critically endangered due to habitat loss and illegal hunting.

They are interested in whether gorillas are aware of themselves and can ponder their surroundings and condition. This could be a significant step in understanding these fascinating creatures. Tool Use Western lowland gorilla is the most abundant of the two subspecies of gorillas. It’s has a population estimate of 90,000 individuals spread across the montane ecosystem, primary and secondary forest and lowland swampland and marshes (as low as sea level) in west central Africa: south to the Congo River and east to the Oubangi River. Look for sustainable palm oil, wood, and other eco-friendly products to avoid contributing to deforestation and habitat destruction. Educate yourself and others about the importance of conservation and the harms of the exotic pet trade. The average body weight of female Western lowland gorillas ( Gorilla gorilla gorilla ) is upto 90 kg (200 pounds).Male gorillas of the Western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) subspecies have average weight up to 140 kg (310 pounds) while females have up to 90 kg (200 pounds). Starting with the Western gorillas, not much is known about their behavior and ecology. While there has been some research on captive Western lowland gorillas, field studies have been limited and only began in the 1980s for this subspecies and the mid-1990s for Cross River gorillas. Gorillas usually inhabit Central Africa’s lowland tropical rainforests, while some species are found in the bamboo forest and montane rainforest. Place two kettlebells on the floor about hip-width apart. The handles should be parallel. Stand just behind your kettlebells, feet a little wider than your weights.

The bite strength of a gorilla is about 1300 pounds per square inch (PSI) which is much higher than that of a great white shark (525 PSI) and lion (650 PSI). An adult male Eastern lowland gorilla (Gorilla beringei graueri) have an average weight up to 160 kg (350 pounds), while for an adult female gorilla this amount is up to 90 kg (200 pounds). The cross river gorrila is the rarest of the two western subspecies and also of the four extant gorilla subspecies — with populations estimated to be fewer than 300 individuals. Gorillas mainly eat plant material. Their diet also includes leaves, stems, fruits, seeds, roots, ants, and termites. An adult male gorilla may consume more than 40 pounds of vegetation per day. Their large stomach can hold all the bulky food they eat and their strong jaws help them to chew tough tough stems. Because they consume a large amount of vegetation, which is compromised of almost half water as well as morning dew, gorillas rarely need to drink water. Habitat:

Gorillas are known for their elusive nature. They have nomadic living patterns, traveling among different places, as fruit or vegetation abundance essentially serves as a course heading. The average travel range of gorillas is 0.24 to 0.60 miles (400 to 1,000 meters) a day. Female gorillas give birth roughly every four years, and there is no set breeding season. After a gestation period of approximately eight and a half months, a single baby gorilla is born, though twins are a rare occurrence. If unrelated females join a lone male, a new social group can be created. When a leader dies, other males take the opportunity to mate with the available females and potentially become the next leader. They exhibit unique social structures and behaviors strikingly similar to those of humans. Though facing multiple dangers, such as poaching, disease, and loss of their habitat, conservation efforts are underway to protect these great apes.
