No, gorillas are not extinct, but they are on the list of endangered species. They've been there for many years, and they are likely to remain there because of habitat destruction, hunting/poaching, and susceptibility to the Ebola virus.

Mainly because of habitat loss and poaching, but some evidence indicates they may fall victim to human borne disease, as well.
Yes, it has evidently been proven, most prodominantly through his facial features. As you can see, his face is clearly identical to that of a gorilla's. Analysing his behavious has proven that he behaves exactly the same of to a gorilla's in real life.
Gorillas are not extinct, but not very plentiful. Located only in Africa.
The scientific name of the lowland gorilla is Gorilla gorilla.
Gorillas are NOT extinct - yet - although several species are threatened with extinction right now due to loss of habitat/human encroachment and poaching. Current identified species and sub-species of gorillas are:Western Gorilla(Gorilla gorilla) Western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla)Cross river gorilla (Gorilla gorilla diehli)Eastern Gorilla(Gorilla beringei) Mountain gorilla(Gorilla beringei beringei)Eastern lowland gorilla (Gorilla beringei graueri)The range of the two species is separated by the Congo river and its tributaries. The western gorilla lives west central Africa while the eastern gorilla lives in east central Africa. As logging operations cut new roads into the remote areas inhabited by the gorillas, they destroy habitat and make access to the gorillas easier for poachers. The least threatened is the Western lowland gorilla - which is still classified as "vulnerable". The Eastern lowland gorilla is classified as "endangered" with around 4,000 such gorillas currently living in the wilds. The Mountain gorilla is critically endangered with less than 800 left. The Cross river gorilla is even more critically endangered, with less than 300 left.
There are two species of Gorilla: Gorilla gorilla(Western Gorilla) and Gorilla beringei (Eastern Gorilla). There are four recognized subspecies:Western Lowlands Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla)Cross River Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla diehli)Mountain Gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei)Eastern Lowland Gorilla (Gorilla beringei graueri)The Bwindi Gorilla has been suggested as a third subspecies of Easter Gorilla. However, it has not yet been assigned a trinomen.
A gorilla's genus is Gorilla, and its species is Gorilla gorilla.
