Bob The Gorilla is the largest primate existing today. The Gorilla is an omnivore, which means that it eats animals as well as plants. The Gorilla is also the most relative animal, apart from chimpanzees to humans today, with almost ninety seven to ninety eight percent of their DNA matching with humans.

The Gorilla is today one of the most endangered species. Some of the reasons for this are human made while few are natural. Their population is fast dwindling. According to scientists, there are only about fifty thousand gorillas left in the African wild. There are just about two thousand five hundred eastern low land gorillas and about six hundred mountain gorillas in the world. The Mountain gorillas are on the verge of extinction.

One of the major reasons responsible for the endangered Gorillas is an increasing loss of habitat. They are primarily terrestrial and live in the tropical rain forests. They are mainly found at the fores edges, clearings, swamps, abandoned fields and wet low land forests. They have been thought to have lived on trees in their evolutionary pasts.

Gorillas are always projected as violent beasts. However, gorillas are not violent and in fact very friendly. For example, Gorillas are nowhere near how they are portrayed in the popular culture in movies and series like 'King Kong' and 'Tarzan'. The only time Gorillas do get angry is when their families are threatened, especially their kids. It is at this time that they rise and thump their chests. Unfortunately, this antic purports them as being violent and therefore results in them being hunted.

With the slow dwindling of greenery and forest cover around the world, the Gorilla is slowly losing its natural habitat. The endangered species of Gorillas live about fifty years in captivity and their life span in the wild is about thirty five years.

Another reason for the endangerment of gorillas is the ever-classical poaching. Gorillas are poached for bush meat or gorilla meat and for other purposes. Gorillas, like tigers are also sometimes hunted for circus use. It is also difficult to maintain exactly how many gorillas are poached, because the poachers kill and butcher the gorillas at the spot. Gorilla meat is considered as illegal, though it does not come under the mandate of CITES.

Gorillas have also been the victims of political unrest. Physical violence in the Great Lakes region in Africa is responsible for the deaths of many Gorillas. During the early nineties, people from Rwanda escaped from their villages and camped in the Virunga National Park. They were forced to harvest firewood from the forest and also killed gorillas in their struggle for survival.The mountain gorillas also suffered during this violence. As many as four silver backs were killed during the violence.

Gorilla tourism is one concept which has worked for bringing back the Gorilla. The Diane Fossey's Mountain Gorilla Project has revamped the Gorilla Tourism in Rwanda. In fact, the project was so popular that Gorilla Tourism was the largest earning potential for the country for a while. The project concentrated on tourist development, conservation education and park development. The program also taught the local people about the economic advantages of saving primates.

Another major reason of Gorillas being an endangered species is human ailments. Gorillas are very averse to ailments like measles, mange and intestinal parasites. Since the Gorillas interact with humans, they become more susceptible to such illnesses and diseases. In the year 2004, several hundred Gorillas had died due to an outbreak of the dreaded Ebola virus in the Odzala National Park in Congo. A recent study has shown that almost five thousand Gorillas may have died in recent outbreaks in the Congo region.		 12/15/2009

Ashley Dude! Gorillas should be safe were they live! Not just in the zoo. At least thats what I think. 3/5/2009
Carrie Williams I think gorrilas are very kind when humans aren't bugging them. Us ,being humans may seem scary to them. People never stop and think about what they are doing. Gorillas are not hairy beasts. They are just trying to protect themselves. 3/5/2009
Christa Walls Gorrillas should be SAFE in their habitat! There should be a safe place for them to go! Like in captivity! In captivity they have more children! They breed more! 3/5/2009

chiara save da gorillas! 12/4/2008
Benise I think people should stop shooting the gorillas for food. If people need food then they should go buy their food not shoot gorillas. They shouldn't shoot gorillas because they're making the popoulation of gorillas go down and soon they will be gone some day. 11/20/2008

Matt Alman Gorillas are good. 4/25/2008
Jae Who cares about wsaving the gorillas i only want them to eat them 4/25/2008
Jalyssa I think that we really should help these endangerd animals so that they don't disaper forever. They are all part of this world and if we get to live then they should to. I think that if we help to save these species than they can hepl us make the world a better place to live. The main reason I think that these animals are dispering right in front of us is because we think that they want to kill us but they are very sweat animals that are counting on us to keep them alive. If we help vanish all these animals and plants it will be a very hard world to live in and I now that some people want to keep them around. This is a world that is killing animals day by day and we are not paying attention. If we want a better world then we have to start to help now befor we kill them all and then it would be a world of misshapp. I am a part of this and I want to stop it. 4/25/2008
Jae Omg thosse gorillas are so tasty and the ones with the silverbacks oh man they taste so good. Last week I shot 8 mountain gorillas and ate them for dinner raw and broiling them you guys should try them too 4/24/2008
Miraj Dsani MY Wife and I love to have them for dinner, and on special occasions we will frie them with salt and rosemary for the best taste. The silverback tastes like prime meet. 4/22/2008
Miraj Dsani I shot five gorillas this weekend 4/22/2008

suzannne i think that gorillas should be endangered and i dont think that they should be used to go into circus. 10/1/2007
william balaz it's unfortunate that this travesty is happenung. what can a person do? animals are becoming extinct every day. one day it may be our turn. 8/3/2007
Kay It breaks my heart to think these beautiful animals are disapearing. I have 8 grandchildren and I would like to think when they grow and have children, the gorillas will still be around to be seen and enjoyed. They are so family minded it makes me feel by their example we see our own destiny. 8/3/2007
