This is Sam, a Western lowland gorilla.
Lowland gorillas live along the Congo River Basin of West Africa.
Male gorillas, like Sam, average 300-500 pounds, and are generally between five feet, five inches and six feet tall. For breakfast Sam has plain yogurt and an apple or cranberry juice drink with bran. As a special treat, Sam gets a tomato, his favorite food. In the wild, a gorilla's average life span is 30-40 years. In captivity, gorillas generally live 50 years or more.
