Gorilla Beringei Beringei
Mountain Gorillas are considered to be one of the two subspecies of the eastern gorilla, Gorilla Beringei Beringei.
The gorilla Beringei Beringei is a species that lives in the Virunga volcanic highlands in central Africa. It is found in three national parks: the Virunga in the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Mgahinga in the southwest of Uganda, and the Volcanoes National Park in the northwest of Rwanda.
The Bwindi impenetrable national park in Uganda is home to the other gorilla group. With 98% human DNA, these gorillas are classified as severely endangered.
The Bwindi Mountain Gorilla population is regarded as a distinct subspecies, with an estimated 880 mountain gorillas left in the world as of the 2006 census.
The largest and most intelligent apes in the primate group, mountain gorillas are descended from monkey apes in Africa.
Mountain Gorillas can be found in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park at a height of 1,100 meters, and in the Virungas at an elevation of roughly 1,850 meters.
People live in the lower tiers of the land. Bamboo forests, mixed forests, and grasslands on the summits of volcanoes are among the habitats of mountain gorillas.
The ones in Bwindi Forest, on the other hand, reside in the steeply sloping forest at a lower elevation. Gorillas eat vegetation, fruits, stems, pith, leaves, bark, and occasionally ants.
Despite this, they eat wood, roots, and wild nettles. The Gorilla Beringei Beringei travel after feeding till nightfall.

Gorillas always show off their sleeping quarters, which can be found in trees or on the ground. They remain between 6 and 40 km2.
A male, a female, and offspring make up each group or family of ten to thirty people. Life history: Males begin to produce between the ages of 8 and 12.
Even though they are fully grown adults at the age of 15, they are still regarded as silverbacks until they are twelve years old.
After 28 days of reproduction, females begin engaging in sexual activity at the age of 6.
When the offspring are three years old and no longer ride on their mother’s back, they are weaned. Their lifespan is forty years.
Have a great day in the woods and see the mountain gorillas.
