The Physical Characteristics of Mountain Gorilla

Mountain gorillas have dark brown eyes with a black ring around the iris, same like other gorilla species. One way all gorillas may be easily distinguished from other apes is by the strong bony crest that adults, both males and females, acquire at the top of their skulls, which gives their heads a characteristic cone or dome form. The crest serves as a support for the gorilla’s extraordinarily strong jaw muscles. Mountain gorillas walk on all fours, much like other gorillas and their relatives the chimpanzees and orangutans do. This is possible because their arms are longer than their legs. They don’t use their palms to support themselves when doing this; instead, they use their knuckles.

All living primates, with the exception of humans, have opposable big toes, which allow the feet to grasp objects just like the hands and are a crucial tool for climbing trees. Mountain gorillas, especially adult males, prefer to spend their time on the ground due to their massive stature, although they can and do climb trees whose branches can hold their weight in order to gather fruit and other resources. The average lifespan of a mountain gorilla is 35 to 40 years.

Ik this subreddit isnt for that but i have no idea where or who to ask..Sb told me that my may cat broke a record, I don't know abt that I've always dreamed abt being in GWR ,I love fostering cats since I was a kid + caring for stray cats I have a few indoor and outdoor cats , about 3 years ago I was taking care of a pregnant cat and she gave birth to 3 beautiful kittens, I noticed that one of them was too small comparing to the others but I took care of her and the vet says she is healthy just small... and she became a mommy too to 2 kittens they were so small one of them got adopted and the other one I took her as she got attached to us, she is extra small but healthy she loves climbing and running around.. i waited till she becomes an adult to do so she grew alittle more but nothing huge now i want her to break a record of having tiny dimensions but I there was tinker toy who was smaller than her, can I apply to the smallest living cat?? And do I measure her stretched ? With tail?? I know nothing those aren't the final measurements as she won't stay on place but they are abt 20inches long and 7inches tall ,tinker toy was smaller but I was thinking abt smallest living..are those measurements any special?? Sorry if that has nothing to do with the sub

Hello! I'm reading some Ethology books and i was wondering if some animals that may potentially never come across another conspecific and are able to reproduce by themselves do exist :).

Have you ever heard of them? Do they exist?

So my cat, Nami, got injured while being outside about a month ago. He absolutely adores going outside during the day, and he usually comes back by 5-6pm and stays inside after he eats his dinner, because I feed him once when I wake up (like 6-7am) and then again when I let him back inside around, like I said, 5-6pmish.

However, one night about a month ago, Nami didn't come home. I thought it was unusual, because he's always in for dinner, but it does happen every once in a while where I won't see him until the next morning if he decides to stay out, but 9 times out of 10, he's inside by night because he sleeps with me on my chest or right next to me every single night.

This night however, he didn't come back until about 3-4am, completely skipping his dinner and going right to almost breakfast. It was dark in my room when he climbed through the window (I left the window open just enough for him to come into in case he came back whilst I was sleeping, which he did) so I called him to me on my bed and he ran over to me and I started getting him, to where I felt something wet and warm and he cried out in pain it sounded. I quickly turned oon the lights and something attacked him and nearly took his eyeball out... his third eyelid was hanging out of his eye on barely a string, and he was cut up all over his body.

Fast forward to two vet visits and a month later, and he's doing just fine now. His eye is nearly fully healed, and he's just A-Okay now. My question for you guys is, should I continue letting him outside after this? This is the first time in his 3 years of life that something like this has happened (although we did just move to a new area in the mountains, we went from a suburbia to waaaaaay out in the sticks), and he keeps BEGGING me to go outside, like he doesn't give it a rest at all, even while he was still injured. He tears down my curtains trying to get out of a closed window and tries his best to sneak out, but has been extremely unsuccessful. Should I break and let him have his way? Or should I say screw this, and force him to transition to an indoor cat?

TL;DR- my cat was horribly injured outside and I need to know if it's okay to let him back outside again now that he is healed

You might not be aware of all the differences between gorillas and chimpanzees. When comparing these two primate species, there are a lot of differences as well as preferences, but what might they be? You’ve come to the right place if you’ve ever wondered what makes a chimpanzee or a gorilla tick.

​

Chimpanzee vs Gorilla

The many distinctions between these two incredible species will be covered in this post. Their habitats, sizes, outward characteristics, and even some of their behavioural tendencies will differ.

Let’s get going!

Chimpanzee

Genus : Pan
Size: 3-5 feet tall; 50-150 pounds
Appearance: Sparse black hair covering everywhere but their palms, face, and soles of their feet; large ears and fingers. Lean body
Location and Habitat: Western and Central Africa; enjoys tropical forests and wooded areas
Lifespan: 50-60 years

-----------------------------------------

Gorilla

Genus: Gorilla
Size : 3-6 feet tall; 200-500 pounds
Appearance: Huge shoulders and broad body; black thick hair covering body except for face, palms, and feet. Males get silver in color as they age
Location and Habitat: Tropical areas of Africa, including rainforests and remote locations
Lifespan: 30-50 years

Is there a rule of thumb to know how best to safely avoid an animal you bump into in the wild? Like an elk I would guess you hold your ground for but that might get you impaled. And I'm not sure what you do for a wolf. But there's a lot of animals of there so is there ways to grouping the same reaction to lots of different animals?

Last night my robins leg broke because my dog was playing too rough with her or something. I didn’t exactly see what happened maybe my dog rolled over her? But her leg is broken at the joint and I don’t know what to do. I’ve had her since she was a baby with no feathers (I found her in the middle of my yard with no nests around because I don’t have trees so I took her in and took care of her like feeding her three times per night until adulthood and she’s super healthy). I can’t take her to a vet because then the vet would take her away from my possession and I just can’t lose her. She’s very close with humans like she loves playing with me and standing on my arm/shoulder/head etc and eating out of my hand. What should I do??? I’ve already made a little cast out of a straw and some bandages but I don’t think it’s enough. I’m so worried :(((

Eastern Gorilla Facts, Habitat, Diet, Scientific Name, Predators, Lifespan, Population, Size, and Why Are Eastern Gorillas endangered? – The eastern gorilla belongs to the genus gorilla. It is one of the great apes and is very closely related to humans. The eastern gorilla, which is most frequently seen in mountaintop jungles, is known to have numerous characteristics that make it easier for it to thrive in the wild.

Gorilla beringei, a species of eastern gorilla, is considerably more human-like than previously believed and is capable of doing a variety of tasks, including hand-peeling fruits. The eastern mountain gorilla and the eastern lowland gorilla, commonly known as the Grauer’s gorilla, are the two subspecies of the eastern gorilla that exist today.

Amazing Facts about Eastern Gorillas

• Male eastern gorillas over the age of 12 begin to transition from black to grey in color, especially on their backs, earning them the nickname “silverbacks.”
• The eastern gorillas have five fingers on each hand and five toes on each foot, just like humans.
• Similar to how a person’s fingerprints can be used to identify them, each eastern gorilla has a unique nose print. It is special, and no two will ever be alike.
• The ears of eastern gorillas are rather small, and they have 32 teeth.
• Eastern gorillas are very intelligent and possess a variety of communication techniques. They converse with one another by making roughly 25 different noises.

Hello! This may seem like a very specific request, but I am desperate!

I am a guinea pig parent and also a sound art major and I am writing my final paper on the bioacoustics of guinea pigs. My goal is to analyze any sounds they make as domesticated animals and compare that of their ancestors and "cousins." To get this I have been looking for the sounds of the montane guinea pig or Cavia tschudii, which live in areas like Argentina. But no matter what I do, I cannot seem to find any recordings of their sounds. I also haven't found any mention if they do not make any sounds. Is there anyone who, for some reason, has these sounds or any insight? Much appreciated!!

This page describes Western Gorilla Facts, Lifespan, Height, Habitat, Predators, and Population.

One of the two gorilla subgroups found on the continent of Africa is the western gorilla (the other being the eastern gorilla). The western gorilla is the more common and larger of the two gorilla species.

​

Western Gorilla

The tropical rainforests and forests of western and central Africa, as well as lowland marshes and secondary woods, are home to the western gorilla. Due to the widespread deforestation and human use of their native environment, all western gorillas are now regarded as severely endangered.

The western lowland gorilla and the cross-river gorilla are two distinct subspecies of the western gorilla. The two kinds of western gorillas are identified by their varied skull and tooth sizes, despite only having a small difference in appearance.
