The differences between them are very slight. There names are: Western Lowland Gorilla (gorilla gorilla ), Eastern Lowland Gorilla (gorilla graueri), and Mountain Gorilla (gorilla berengei). The differences between mountain gorilla s and lowland gorilla s are slight and result mainly from adaptat ion to high altitudes. Mountain gorilla s have longer body hair, higher foreheads, longer palat es, larger nostrils, broader chests, shorter arms, shorter, wider hands and feet. Males grow up to 5'6" upright, 4'6" normal stance. Females grow up to 5' upright, 3'6" - 4' normal stance. Gorilla s eat some 200 types of leaves, tubers, flowers, fruit, fungus and some insects.

Males consume approximat ely 50 lbs. a day.
