Gorilla Coloring Pages: The western lowland gorilla is a critically endangered species of gorilla and is one of two subspecies of the western gorilla. They are native to the dense rainforests of Central Africa, specifically in Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and the Republic of Congo. These magnificent animals are the smallest and most widespread subspecies of gorillas, known for their muscular build and distinctive black fur. Adult males can reach heights of up to 6 feet and weigh around 400 pounds, while females are slightly smaller. Western lowland gorillas are herbivores, primarily consuming a diet consisting of leaves, fruits, shoots, and other plant matter. They live in tight-knit social groups called troops, led by a dominant silverback male. Due to widespread poaching, habitat loss, and diseases like Ebola, the western lowland gorilla population has been declining rapidly in recent years, making conservation efforts crucial to their survival.
