Are mountain gorillas silverback gorillas the same?

Mountain gorillas and silverback gorillas are not the same, but they are closely related. Mountain gorillas are a subspecies of the eastern gorilla, specifically found in the Virunga Mountains of Central Africa. The term "silverback" refers to adult male gorillas, regardless of their subspecies, characterized by the silver hair on their backs that develops with maturity. Thus, while all silverback gorillas can be mountain gorillas, not all mountain gorillas are silverbacks, as females and younger males do not have this distinctive feature.
