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.
