modificarDescription
modificarGorillas es le plus grande primate. Ille es un herbivore que inhabita le forestes del Africa. Gorillas es divide in duo species e 4 o 5 subspecies. Le ADN de gorillas es 98%–99% identic de human,[2] e illes es le plus vicinitate de hominees dopo de le due chimpanze species.
Gorillas vive in tropical o subtropical forestes. Le Gorilla Montan inhabite le montan forestes de Albertine Rift de Volcanes de Virunga, rangiar in altitude de 2225 to 4267 m. Le Gorillas del campo vive in forests dense de palude basse Que le nivello del mar.
Nomines
modificarLe nomine es derivate de le parole grec Gorillai (un "tribe de feminas capillute") descriso de Hanno le Navigator, un Carthaginian navigator e un possible visitor (circa 480 BC) de le area que devenite Sierra Leone.[3]
Evolution
modificarLe proxime relatives de gorillas es le chimpanzes e le homes, de que gorillas divergeva 7 million annos retro.[4]
Genes human differe 1.6% per media de le correspondente genes de gorilla in sequentia, ma existe multe differentias in cunata multe copias qualcun gene ha.[5]
Primatologistas continua a explorar le relation inter varie populationes de gorillas.[6] Le species e subspecies listate:
Intelligentia
modificarGorillas es close relative de humanes e es considerate multe intelligent. In captiviate, un individos come Koko, ha aprendite le lingua de signos (vide lingua de animales pro discussion).
Extinction
modificarLe species de gorilla es un specie in periculo de extinction. Conservation effortes include le Great Apes Survival Project, un partneriato intro Nationes Unite Programme de Ambiente e United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, e tamben un international tratato, le Agreement on the Conservation of Gorillas and Their Habitats, de UNEP Convention on Migratory Species. Le Gorilla Agreement es el primo instrument legal exclusivo pro Gorilla conservation e es in effecto de 1 June 2008.
