Gorilla gorilla gorilla lives in the western lowlands and Gorilla gorilla graueri resides in the eastern lowlands. The Mountain Gorilla, Gorilla beringei beringei, lives in the mountains of Central Africa.

Of course they eat food! Every living animal or plant does.
What is a group or related plants and animals called?
Depends what animals:
A pack of wolves
A herd of cows
A pride of lions
A gaggle of geese On the ground)
A flock of geese (airborne)
A sleuth of bears
A pod of whales
Etc.
For people it's also various:
A band of men
A panel of experts
A bench/sentence of judges
A faculty of academics
In other words probably more than you can shake a stick at.
Animals the eat both plants and animals?
Animals that eat both plants and animals are called omnivores.
Is a gorilla bigger than a man?
The gorilla. It weighs 400 pounds and stands around 4 to 5 ft tall on all fours (shoulder height), while a wolf weighs 150 pounds and has a height of around 3 ft tall at the shoulder.
How slow are gorillas in land speed?
The AVERAGE top speed of a chimpanzee on the ground is about 25mph*.
The fastest speed ever recorded for a man was about 27mph.
Note that the chimp speed was an average, this means there are both faster and slower individuals. The human record was a single man and there was no faster individual.
It is fair to say that on average they would be about the same. The same would also be true for the time at which both species can maintain this speed. Humans are moderately poor sprinters, as are chimpanzees.

* edited to note that I have never seen a reference for the speed of a chimpanzee running, and I've asked professional primatologists. Please include a reference for this statement if it exists.
What is the largest member of the ape family?
Gigantopithecus blacki was the largest look it up for more info Gigantopithecus blacki was the largest look it up for more info
Why is river water a brown color?
It is not always brown. The colour would depend on the sediment it is carrying.
it is because all the trash in side of the river and the died animals .
No, a bear can run much faster than a human.
However, most problems with bears come from territoriality, food aggression (they want your food), or if you make the truly epic mistake of getting between a mother bear and her cubs. As all these are "positional", you can easily avoid confrontations with bears. The human Musculoskeletal system maxes out at 27 miles per hour (theoretical) After that the pressure your muscles must provide is strong enough to break the bones it's trying to move. The fastest human on record runs about 23mph. So even in theory for you vs. bear; Bear > You.
...Yes it is possible to outrun a bear, because I've done it. In fact, I may be the only written documented case with an official eyewitness and police report. I outran the bear over a stretch no less than 100 yards, possibly much longer. I don't know what my clock speed was as I was fighting for my life. As for my musculoskeletal system, I pulled several ligaments in my leg in the process according to the doctor who treated me. The bear itself may have weighed between 350-400 lbs. and was very large, an adult. So it is possible, but you have to be extremely lucky.
DISCLAIMER: In case anyone wants to try this out for kicks, I don't ever recommend it. Because you probably will not live to tell your tale. 99.998% sure it will either kill or maim you very severely for life. Please don't attempt it as animals in the Wild are extremely dangerous. Don't ever taunt a bear thinking you can outrun it. They are not your domesticated pet. They kill to eat and to survive. They eat anything which fulfills this need...including you.
They may on occasion, but are nowhere near the man killers that lions, leopards, and tigers are.
What kind of animals and plants does an eagle eat?
There are not many natural predators of eagles. There might be, on rare occasion, instances where a predator might catch an injured bird or surprise one. About the only oganisms that do eat eagles would be scavengers, after the eagle is already dead.
How do you protect mountain gorillas?
An unborn baby gorilla will be protected in its mother's womb where he/she is surrounded by watery fluids called amniotic fluid
What are plants called when they are eaten by other living things?
There are either herbivores that eat plants (cows, horses, etc) or carnivores that eat animals (like lions, dogs, tigers, etc) or omnivores that eat both plants and animals (like us, humans).
Heterotrophs are organisms that consume other organisms (such as autotrophs).
Other words are cannibal, consumer, and predators.
A study done in the 1920s found that Chimps were four times stronger than able-bodied college football players. The 2009 research paper "The Strength of Great Apes and the Speed of Humans" by Prof. Alan Walker writes:
"Bauman (1923, 1926) showed that adult male and female chimpanzees held long in captivity were much stronger than any of several fit young football players when normalized for body mass. He had the animals (when they felt like it) and the students pull on a calibrated metal loop dynamometer. The female recorded a two-handed pull of 1,260 pounds,while the male recorded a one-handed pull of 847 pounds. The strongest student managed a one-handed pull of 210 pounds and a two-handed pull of 491 pounds. When normalized for body mass, this meant that the chimpanzees were more than four times as strong as the men."
Prof. Walker theorizes that the reason Chimps are so much strong is because they have less grey matter in their spinal cord, meaning there are less muscle neurons to activate small muscle groups. On top of that, they do not have the types of biological limiters that humans have because they do not have as many fine motor control muscles to protect. This ultimately means that they can access larger sections of muscle at once.
Gorillas are probably twice as strong as Chimps. I've seen estimates of them being eight to nine times stronger than humans. I couldn't even begin to imagine what it would be like to be that strong.
The reasons for gorillas endangerment?
The Cross River Gorilla is endangered because of deforestation and the bush-meat trade. Human ignorance has also helped decrease the population, because we idly stand by and twiddle our thumbs as these gorillas get killed off.
What is a Gorilla a mammal or a amphibian?
A definite mammal it has fur and produces milk and gives birth to live young. amphibians lay eggs produce no milk and have scales and no fur or hair.
