Reposted from @peppermintnarwhal Happy World Gorilla Day! To celebrate, we thought it was time to Know Your Gorillas. There are two Gorilla species, the Eastern Gorilla (Gorilla beringei) and the Western Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla). Both species are Critically Endangered. The Eastern Gorilla comes in two subspecies; the Grauer's Gorilla (Gorilla beringei graueri) and the Mountain Gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei). The Western Gorilla also comes in two subspecies; the Cross River Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla diehli) and Western Lowland Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla).
