Who was the british man who studied gorillas?
Louis Leakey was a British man who studies gorillas. In 1958 he helped to start the Tigoni Primate Research Center in Nairobi.
Gorillas typically live between 35 to 50 years in the wild. In captivity, they may live even longer, sometimes reaching into their 50s or 60s. The lifespan of a gorilla can vary depending on factors such as habitat, food availability, and the presence of predators.
What age are chickens when they begin have fertilized eggs?
It is not up to the hen whether the eggs are fertilized. That is a rooster function. No rooster, not fertilization. If you have a rooster with access to the hens, as soon as they are able to lay, chances are he has done his job and they are fertilized.
For three reasons ....
1 - Bushmeat ... poachers can sell the meat and make more than the average income in the region.
2 - Trophies ... some local markets actually sell hands, skulls, etc. as trophies to tourists.
3 - Private Zoos ... in order to capture a baby, the males and females in the local group are poached to separate the infant.
All of which are DISGUSTING.
What animal has the longest hair?
Well this will sound crazy but it is us humans. We can have the longest hair in the animal kingdom. I believe the longest is 18 ft 5.54 inches. I believe the second longest hair in the animal kingdom would probably be a horse. There tail can be very long.

How do animals help pollination?
Most animals actually don't realize that they are helping the pollination of a plant. For example, a bee usually lands on a flower to take some nectar, but its body unintentionally takes some pollen along and then, while they are flying to another flower, spread the pollen to the pistil of the second flower (or sometimes also of the first flower). Animals have a large role in pollination. Most pollinations happen because of animals like bees. Some are also caused by the wind, but if there isn't any animals helping the pollination, it would be hard for the seeds to grow.
How are plants and animal cells similar?
The plant and animal cells are similar in many ways.There are only a few differences like presence of cell wall , presence of chloroplasts, absence of centrioles in plants. in all other ways (provided that you do not consider the genes) they are similar
How many gorillas are in a pack?
Gorillas typically live in groups called troops. A troop can consist of 5 to 30 individuals, led by a dominant silverback male. The size of a troop can vary depending on factors like food availability and social dynamics.
In the animal kingdom, male turkeys are commonly referred to as toms.

What is a predator and prey in the neritic zone?
In the neritic zone, predators can include larger fish such as tuna, sharks, and barracuda, as well as marine mammals like dolphins and seals. Prey species can be smaller fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and plankton that make up the base of the food chain. This dynamic relationship helps maintain the balance of the ecosystem in the neritic zone.

How can you tell if a chicken egg you just cracked open is fertilized?
You cannot tell unless the egg has been incubating for 48 to 72 hours. The fertilized egg looks no different from an unfertilized egg until the chick actually starts to form. Fertilized eggs, collected daily and refrigerated do not start the process of becoming a chick for awhile after being laid. It takes the right temperature (100F) and humidity(50%).
If you are looking at a blood spot or the white spots found in a fresh egg and think that is a sign, you are mistaken. Blood spots form for many reasons, most are from internal problems in the hens oviduct. The white spots inside an egg are Chalsae, a protein that holds the yolk centered in the albumen. It is a common error by consumers.
An egg that is forming into a chick will have clearly defined red lines running from the top of the yolk and spreading out on all sides.
See the link below if you wish to follow the actual formation of a chick inside an egg.
As you know, organisms are split into 2 groups - Animals and plants. Plants compete for: Water Nutrients from the soil Sunlight for photosynthesis Space to grow Animals compete for: Food Water Shelter from predators A mate to produce offspring Hope it helps
How does water and mineral salt get from the roots of plant to its stem?
water and dissolved mineral salts enter the root hairs from the soil.then the water travels up through xylem vessels in the roots,stem,leaves
97 plant species. About 67% of their diet is fruit, 33% is leaves, seeds and stems.
Gorillas are omnivores. They mostly eat fruits, leaves, stems, and shoots of plants, but they also eat insects. Also they like to eat little bits of hay.
Gorillas are NOT omnivores, they are herbivores. The fact that they might occasionally consume insects while eating fruit, leaves and nuts does nothing to negate that fact. The have no need for animal foods, and zoos do not include animal products in their normal diet (though animal fat may be included in commercially prepared foods as an inexpensive source of lipids). In fact, meat fed regularly to a gorilla would result in its early death. Some tribes of chimpanzees, on the other hand, eat small amounts of meat, whereas other tribes of the same species do not.
they are vegetation
for mountain gorilla they eat 142 different species of plants and 3 different fruit only approximatly 86% of their diet depends on leaves, shoot, herbs 7% on roots and 2% on snails, ants.They eat sometimes invertebrates.
Gorillas eat plants such as leaves, twigs, bark, and grass. They are omnivores which means they eat plants and meat. The only type of meat they eat is a termite. They occasionally eat those.
Most gorilla species enjoy a diet of bamboo, fruit, and other vegetarian items. Though the western lowland species tend to enjoy breaking open termite mounds and feasting on the larvae.
Gorillas eat:
. bananas
. bamboo
. plants
The diet of the eastern lowland gorilla vary seasonally. Leaves and pith. Fruits when they are available. They also eat insects, preferably termites and ants. Aquatic herbs.
At what age is an elephant full grown?

When did mountain gorillas became endangered?
Mountain gorillas became endangered in the mid-20th century due to habitat loss, poaching, and human encroachment. Their population declined drastically, leading to conservation efforts being implemented to protect and save the species.
How much does a average female gorilla eat?
An average female gorilla can consume about 18 to 20 kilograms (40 to 44 pounds) of food per day, which mostly consists of vegetation such as leaves, stems, and fruits. They have a herbivorous diet that helps sustain their large body size and energy requirements.
What is it called when you eat chalk?
There is no label for this, but I'd see your doctor about it. == There is a legitimate malady called PICA disorder, where people seem to like to eat non-food products like chalk, dirt, clay, etc.
What is a mountain gorilla's role in its ecosystem?
Mountain gorillas play a crucial role in their ecosystem as they help in seed dispersal through their dietary habits. By consuming fruits and defecating seeds in different locations, they contribute to the regeneration of forests and vegetation. Additionally, they help control the populations of certain plant species by grazing on them.
Why do adult male gorillas not feed in trees?
Adult male gorillas are heavier and larger than females and young gorillas, making it difficult for them to climb trees with agility. They primarily feed on the ground to avoid the risk of falling from trees, which could result in injury or death. Additionally, their larger size and weight make it more energy-efficient for them to forage on the ground rather than in trees.
What happens when two gorillas fight for territory?
Two gorillas fighting for territory will engage in aggressive displays such as chest-beating, roaring, and charging. Physical combat may occur, with the gorillas using their strength and sharp teeth to intimidate or harm the opponent. The fight will usually continue until one gorilla retreats, establishing the victor as the dominant individual in that territory.
