Mountain Gorilla

## Inspirational quotes and information about this iconic & humble king of the jungle

*The more you learn about the dignity of the gorilla, the more you want to avoid people*.

~ Dian Fossey, (Gorillas in the mist).

(**Please Note**:This positive and inspirational quote needs to be added and rewritten by the community into the primate's page from *The Lion Guard* fandom and original *The Lion King* fandom and the fans of the short-lived series lacked the information about the great apes and were misinformed:gorillas from the lion guard fandom and gorillas from the original lion king fandom).

*No one who looks into a gorilla's eyes -- Intelligent, gentle, vulnerable -- can remain unchanged, for the gap between ape and human vanishes; we know that the gorilla still lives within us*.

~ George Schaller.

*Gorillas are still wild creatures. That's made very clear when you observe them in nature. They charge and perform other displays that are terrifying by design. But they don't attack unless they feel threatened*.

~ Andy Serkis.

*With man gone, will there be hope for gorilla?*.

~ Daniel Quinn, (Author of Ishmael).

*If I die. If the gorillas are safe, okay*.

~ August Rwimo (One of Virunga national Park's wildlife Congolese rangers).

*No one loved gorillas more*.

~ Nyiramachabelli.

*I don't know why this majestic animal is so underrated. Gorillas are the closest living animals to human beings, after chimpanzees and bonobos, and share many traits with us, such as laughter, sadness and the ability to create tools in order to aid their day-to-day survival*.

~ Jodi Lucas (Book All Safaris).

*Gorillas are keystone species in their habitat...If you remove that one species, ecosystem would certainly degrade, If not completely collapse*.

~ Ian Redmond.

The **mountain gorilla** (*Gorilla beringei beringei*) is one of the two subspecies of the Eastern Gorilla. There are two populations. Despite *The Lion Guard* (Based on *The Lion King*), its fandom and the Disney fandom falsely stated that the mountain gorilla inapproiately living in the snowy Rwenzori theluji mountains (Which the latter led to criticisms) their real habitats and homes they lived and resided basically are the Iconic and remarkable Virunga mountains of Central and Eastern Africa, within three National Parks: Mgahinga, in south-west Uganda; Volcanoes, in north-west Rwanda; and Virunga in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). As of November 2018 it is listed as endangered by the IUCN. The other is found in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Some primatologists consider the Bwindi population in Uganda may be a separate subspecies, though no description has been finalized. As of June 2018, the estimated number of mountain gorillas remaining more than 1,000 individuals.

## Evolution, taxonomy, and classification

*Main article Mountain gorilla Evolution, taxonomy, and classification*.

Mountain gorillas are descendants of ancestral monkeys and apes found in Africa and Arabia during the Oligocene epoch (34-24 million years ago). The fossil record provides of hominoid primates (apes) found in east Africa approximately 22-32 million years ago. The fossil record of the area where mountain gorillas live is particularly poor and so its evolutionary history is not clear.

## Animal Intelligence

Despite the abysmal and bad qualities with the unnecessary and undeserved portrayal of the mountain gorilla being characterized as stupid, immature and weak (Same with Shujaa), Though thankfully he’s still as bright (Despite TV Tropes falsely stated that he's not the brightest ape around) and smart much like his real life counterparts unlike the unlikable and painfully unfunny Majinuni, Hafifu and Sokwe in Ford Riley's forgettable *Lion Guard* tv series with the Big Cats themselves especially Kion being the animal geniuses (Which the latter led to a lot of more and more criticisms as it made both the endangered mountain gorilla himself got his reputation ruined and made this primate gone downhill, In reality within most fiction the apes are naturally more smarter than lions (Due to Great ape language, Hominid intelligence and Primate cognition) and as well as Sign Language, along with other apes including the bonobos, gibbons, orangutans and chimpanzees (Which the these facts that Ford Riley, the main cast (Particularly Max Charles, Diamond White, Joshua Rush, Atticus Shaffer, Rob Lowe and Dusan Brown) and the writers (Particularly Elise Allen) of *The Lion Guard* and its fandom and especially the idiotic celebutards Dan Howell and Phil Lester who needlessly depicted them as dumb, unrealistic and non-gorillalike simians had intentionally and disputedly ignored). **Young, lighter gorillas are better climbers than adult gorillas**. Gorillas often climb into fruiting trees in order to play. While climbing trees gorillas grasp with all fours. For more information of how smart and powerful are these creatures, here are the main articles and a video:*Gorilla Intelligence*, *Gorilla Physiology and video about how brainy these apes are showing the proof.* Here's further evidence about this:https://www.animalsaroundtheglobe.com/gorilla-vs-lion/.

## Animal Strength

Gorillas are stronger than human adults combined. The silverbacks (Mature males) are in fact **Stronger than 20 adult humans combined as they can lift or throw up to 815 kgs** while a well-trained man can only lift up 400 kgs. Any adult gorilla can lift up to 450 kilograms, not with a body size than go as high as 200kgs. A bite from the gorilla's fangs can cover about **1,300 pounds per square inch**, which is way higher to the predatory lions which only have 650 pounds per square inch (Making the gorilla one of Africa's most powerful animal on the entire continent on earth after the African Bush Elephant and Common Hippopotamus overall). Typical gorilla punches deliver **1300-2700 pounds of force** from his fists. Consider that the average, untrained Human throws a punch with roughly 150 pounds, which is more than the average puncher but still far less than the gorilla. For more info about how powerful these primates here are two main articles:*Gorilla Physiology* and *Superior Gorilla Physiology* and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-DcsPVkVc4.

The sounds that mountain gorillas make are grunts, hoots and roars. Adult males (Silverbacks) can also hoot while beating their chests with their palmed hands, while young juveniles can chuckle when play-fighting.

## Behavior and ecology

*Main article:Mountain gorilla#Behavior and ecology*.

## Diet

The mountain gorilla is primarily a herbivore; the majority of its diet is composed of the leaves, shoots and stems. Although they're also insectivores as the apes can also feed on Siafu ants. They can also even feed on wild celery, roots, bulbs, termites, tropical African eastern-central forest fruit, African fungi, tree bark, giant African snails and even bamboo shoots.

## Natural predators

Their natural enemies are Nile Crocodiles, humans and mostly African Leopards.

## Size

Their size is 4 to 6 feet tall. Though they're slightly larger than the Western Lowland Gorilla and the Eastern Lowland Gorilla when being born with gigantism. In Rwanda's volcanoes national park a mountain gorilla named Guhonda meaning "To beat" in the Kinyarwanda language and the leader of the Sabyinyo is a gentle giant and is up to 8 to 10 feet tall.

## Reproduction

Females can give birth every 2 to 3 years, starting from the age of 10-12. Males begin breeding around 15 years of age. Females generally have 4 to 6 offspring in their lifetime.

## Distribution and natural habitat

 *Main article:Mountain Gorilla Distribution and habitat*.

As stated earlier, despite the mountain gorilla inaccurately and temporarily living in the infamous and unsatisfying Theluji Mountains shown in Disney Junior and Ford Riley's forgettable tv show *The Lion Guard*, their actual homes and native lands where these apes live in physical existence are basically the iconic and majestic Virunga Mountains within the Albertine Rift montane forests, Albertine Rift montane cloud forest and the prehistoric Bwindi Impenetrable Forest of Eastern-central Africa's Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, ranging in elevation from 2,200 to 4,300 m (7,200 to 14,100 ft) (Which Ford Riley, the actors and the writers of *The Lion Guard* and its fandom also had disputedly ignored, leading to a serious and upsetting unsettled situation). Most groups live on the slopes of three of the dominant volcanoes: Mount Karisimbi, Mount Mikeno and Mount Bisoke. As their name implies, mountain gorillas live in **forests high in the mountains, at elevations of 8,000 to 13,000 feet** . This literally and clearly true in reality that even tv tropes also points this out on their genius bonus.

## Fur and fur colors

They have thicker fur, and more of it, compared to other great apes. The fur helps them to survive in a habitat where temperatures often drop below freezing. A long and thick fur coat, **blue-black, mainly black or brownish-gray** in color, which provides insulation against colder temperatures, covers the mountain gorilla's fur.

## Movements, speed and locomotion

Mountain gorillas can run and walk through Knuckle-walking like all of the great apes at **25 miles per hour**. Here are two videos for example for references of how these soulful apes walk and run: *https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ia2mOSgThHA* and *https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Khlzm0D49A*.

## Animal Symbolism

Along with the African Lion, the gorilla as one of the continent's other significant species is also an emblem mammal for **strength, intelligence, communication, protection tranquility, dignity, gentleness and family**. Native to the mountains and forests of Eastern and Central-eastern Africa, the gorilla fascinates those of us who feel a strong kinship with these soulful primates. The Echuya Batwa tribe of Western Uganda used to live in the Bwindi impenetrable forest with these humble apes for more than thousands of years during Africa's archaeology.
