Meet the Eastern Lowland Gorilla

Scientific Name: Gorilla beringei graueri

Also Known As: Grauer’s gorilla

Type: Primate

Diet: Omnivorous

Status: Critically endangered

Population: Less than 7000

Habitat: Tropical rainforests

Location: Democratic Republic of the Congo

Threats:

• Habitat loss due to deforestation and mineral mining
• Hampered conservation efforts due to civil unrest
• Hunting and poaching

Eastern lowland gorillas might look intimidating, but they’re actually very curious creatures. If you encounter them in the wild, they might lie in your lap and let you inspect them for lice. They have complex societal structures and, while not scientifically calculated, they are so damn gorgeous.

Unusual facts

1. One love? Not so much. Male gorillas breed with several females throughout their lives. Although females reach sexual maturity earlier than males, so maybe they’re more similar to us than we thought?
2. Eastern lowland gorillas certainly look scary, but in reality they’re more interested in resting and and feeding. These similarities are getting spooky…
3. Of all the primates, these guys are the smartest — and that’s saying something. They’ve been taught sign language to communicate, and have even constructed simple sentences with it.
4. Eastern lowland gorillas appreciate the value of comfort, and will make a new bed every night.
