Gorillas are divided into two species: the western gorilla and the eastern gorilla. They are the largest of the great apes but only found in 10 African countries. They are facing different threats such as habitat lost and fragmentation, the bushmeat trade and disease. Gorillas share more than 96 percent of their DNA with humans and can be identified by their "nose prints" !
