What is the eastern gorilla?

Eastern gorilla is a subspecies of great apes that are closely related to humans, and a large part of the DNA structure of both species is similar. There are two types of eastern gorillas, lowlands and mountains, each of which has named its specific habitats in the African countries of Rwand, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Gorillas of lowlands and mountain mountains are classified as endangered species.

Both subspecies of Eastern gorillas are among the largest of all apes. Adult male eastern lowlands, also known as Grauer's gorillas, can grow up to 69 inches (175 cm) high and weigh up to £ 360 (165 kg). Men's gorilla men can be slightly larger, up to 70 inches (177 cm) and weigh up to £ 440 (200 kg). Women of both subspecies are approximately half the size of men. Their arms spread, measurement from the fingers of one hand over the body on the fingers of the other hand, there may be a larger than seven feet (2.13 m).

gorillas are usually active day and sleep at night, like most people. Eastern gorilla is a herbivore and spends a majorityDay by mealing the material of the material, such as leaves, shoots and vine. Eastern lowland gorillas also eat fruit that they often have to travel to find, so their domestic areas are larger than the areas of mountain gorillas.

Eastern gorilla lives in a pack with five to 30 members, including a dominant man who was often called a "silver pack" because of the color on the back of the curves when it ages. Other members of the package include adult women, descendants and often several submissive men or blackbacks. Only Silverback can connect with women's women and create offspring with eight and a half months pregnancy and then approximately three years of nursing. Many gorilla children will not survive their first three years of life, with a child that will achieve maturity born only every six to eight years, which supports the population decline.

together with infant mortality led other factors of eastern gorillas to become an endea woman. Loss of habitat due to forest clearing for agriculture, conflicts in the region in recent years and poaching have abandoned the types of eastern lowlands, which are less than 5,000, while today there are less than 800 mountain gorillas. Mountain Gorilla, famous for the work of Primatologist Diana Fossey, also suffered the loss of the population due to the diseases brought to his habitat by increasing the number of human visitors.
