Cross River gorillas are critically endangered, and their population is very small, estimated to be around 200 to 300 individuals. Due to their limited numbers and the challenges they face in their habitat, only a few births are recorded each year, typically ranging from 2 to 5. This low Birth Rate, combined with threats such as habitat loss and poaching, makes their conservation efforts crucial for the survival of the species.
Mountain gorillas do not have a breeding season, and babies are born throughout the year.
Gorillas (like all mammals except monotremes) are viviparous i.e. they give birth to live young.

No. Gorillas give birth to live young.
Yes, and no. A "6-pack" is a form of imprint or crease in the skin that forms around the abdominal muscles, which every mammal has. Because gorillas are typically very powerfully built, their abdominal muscles may indeed be visible from birth. However, "6-pack" creases are usually obtained with some age.
