Gorilla Hand. Cleveland Metroparks Zoo
The gorilla is the largest of the great apes with a standing height of 4 to 5.8 feet and an armspread of 6 to 6.9 feet. Weight for females is 134 to 308 pounds and for males 297 to 605 pounds. The face, ears, hands, and feet are bare, and the chest of old males lacks hair. A pad of skin and connective tissue, which is relatively dense and fibrous in nature, is present on the crown. Mature males have a saddle of whitish hair which extends onto the thighs and earns them the name “sillverback."

The population is estimated at 40,000, although it is declining due to habitat loss, as well as poaching.
