Gorillas rarely drink water "because they consume succulent vegetation that is comprised of almost half water as well as morning dew", [43] although both mountain and lowland gorillas have been observed drinking. Recent research on captive gorilla welfare emphasizes a need to shift to individual assessments instead of a one-size-fits-all group approach to understanding how welfare increases or decreases based on a variety of factors. [96] Individual characteristics such as age, sex, personality and individual histories are essential in understanding that stressors will affect each individual gorilla and their welfare differently.

Amazing Facts About the Gorilla

Studies have shown gorilla blood is not reactive to anti-A and anti-B monoclonal antibodies, which would, in humans, indicate type O blood. Due to novel sequences, though, it is different enough to not conform with the human ABO blood group system, into which the other great apes fit. [35]

There are two different gorilla species (each with two sub-species). The Western Gorilla ( Gorilla gorilla) has the sub-species: Western Lowland Gorilla ( Gorilla gorilla gorilla) and Cross River Gorilla ( Gorilla gorilla diehli); while the Eastern Gorilla ( Gorilla beringei) has the sub-species: Mountain Gorilla ( Gorilla beringei beringei) and Eastern Lowland Gorilla ( Gorilla beringei graueri). All species are endangered due to habitat loss and hunting amongst other threats, however the Cross River Gorilla is the rarest with fewer than 300 wild individuals remaining in eight small isolated populations in Nigeria and Cameroon. Gorillas became highly prized by western zoos since the 19th century, though the earliest attempts to keep them in captive facilities ended in their early death. In the late 1920s the care of captive gorillas significantly improved. [91] Colo (December 22, 1956 – January 17, 2017) of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium was the first gorilla to be born in captivity.
