Gorillas
The largest of the primates, this ground-dwelling herbivore inhabits the forests of central west Africa. There are three subspecies. 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.

Can gorillas and chimps interbreed?
Humans are primates. They are members of the family hominidae and make up the only genus in that family: homo, so technically - a human can "crossbreed" with another primate - as long as the other primate is also a human.
The question really seems to be asking if humans can crossbreed with members of different, i.e. non-human, primate families - in which case the answer is NO.
The further apart two animals are in genetic terms, the less likely they are to produce viable offspring. At this point, humans seem to have been separate from other animals for far too long to interbreed. We diverged from our closest extant relative, the chimpanzee, as many as 7 million years ago. In the 1920s, Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin sent an animal-breeding expert to Africa in hopes of creating an army of half-man, half-monkey soldiers. Attempts both to inseminate women with monkey sperm and impregnate female chimpanzees with human sperm failed to produce any offspring. Humans are too different from other primates to cross-breed with them.
Not very.
Gorillas, like all apes, are extremely intelligent. In some ways, they even beat humans in intelligence. Some studies on primates have discovered that most of them can work out basic arithmetic and complete puzzles such as mazes far quicker than a human.
Gorillas are not dumb, they're one of the most intelligent species of animal on the planet, alongside humans, chimps and dolphins.
No, weed is not a herbivore. Weeds are plants that generally grow in unwanted locations and can compete with cultivated plants for nutrients and space. Herbivores are animals that primarily consume plant material.
Where do plants obtain the carbon dioxide used in photosynthesis?
Plants get Carbon Dioxide from the air, or actually, from animals and people that breath it into the air. Because plants produce Oxygen, animals and humans breath in the Oxygen, and breath out CO2, into the air. So, plants use this element in photosynthesis.
How long does it take redwood tree to grow?
The statistics which describe the Redwood are truly amazing. These giants can live 2000 years, and could weigh upwards of 500 tons
Redwoods usually lose their lower limbs, producing a canopy over the forest.
What do gorillas eat for food?
Prey: Bongo, Buffalo, Elephant Calf, Deer, Zebra, Antelope, Wild Donkey, Warthog
Fruit: Banana, Apple, Berry, Grape

Where did the animals and all the plants come from?
All the animals, plants, living creatures, humans and this world, the sun, the moon, the stars and the sky and the other planets and galaxy were creation of the Almighty God
If gorillas became extinct what would happen?
If gorillas became extinct, it would disrupt their ecosystems by affecting plant growth and seed dispersal. It could also lead to an increase in the population of certain plant species that gorillas eat, which may have cascading effects on other species. Additionally, the loss of gorillas would impact ecotourism and conservation efforts in the regions where they are found.
What animal or insect lays tiny white eggs all over the backyard?
I would like to know too.. they are on our eavestrough and in the net of our trampoline
What are the four gorilla species?
There are two species of gorillas: Gorilla gorilla, the Western Gorilla, and Gorilla beringei, the Eastern Gorilla. Western Gorillas have two subspecies, and Eastern Gorillas have three.
What are the problems faced by women in this modern society?
The problems faced by women in modern society ranges greatly on the location. For women in most first world countries, the problems include sexism in the workplace (lower pay, fewer promotions), sexual harassment and violence (in person and online), representation in government and as leaders, and health issues (access to women's clinics). In less economically developed or highly religious countries, some women do not have access to education, cannot drive or wear what they choose, are trafficked, or are blamed for the sexual harassment or violence against them.
What should magnets be kept away from?
Cassette tapes and floppy discs (not CDs) store information by changing the magnetic field on small portions of the tape. Placing a magnet near them for a short time can corrupt or delete the data; this also applies for computer hard-drives and some other storage devices.
How much does the largest silverback gorilla weigh?
Silverbacks weigh approximately 150 to 200 kg (310 to 440 lb).
What fungi belong in the phylum ascomycota?
they are also known as bread molds and one of the examples is the Rhizopus
Is a gorilla reproduced internal or external?
I don't get what you mean by "reproduced internal or external". So I just give some insight about the reproduction cycle of Gorillas. Female gorillas begin to breed at about 9 years of age. The female menstruates about every 28 days and may mate in any season. Just like female human beings, femal gorillas also bear their infants for almost 9 months (pregnancy period). Female usually gives birth to a single infants (occasionally twins). A female normally produces 3 to 6 offspring in her lifetime and becoming pregnant ang giving birth on the average every four years.
Inch and centimeter are both linear units of measurement. They are used to measure small distance. The conversion is done by multiplying the inch measurement by 2.54. The above unit in inches equals 55.88 cm (Approximately).
What animal eats both producers and consumers plants and animals?
A venus fly trap catches flys but lets off oxegen. Tigers, THEY ARE PREDATORS BUT THEY HAVE BABIES..
What are the examples of diploblastic animals?
Examples for diploblastic animals are the following:
The members of phylum:
cnidarians and phylum ctenophore are diploblastic
Cnidarians include hydra, jellyfishes, corals, sea pen, sea fan, sea anemones, obelia, physalia, etc.
Generally, no. Anacondas live in South America and gorillas live in Africa. They're an ocean apart.
If ever they would meet, it'd have to be a really small/young gorilla and a really big anaconda.
How does the gorilla defend their harems?
A gorilla can protect itself by pounding on his/her chest and making very loud nosies to frighten the attacker. If that fails, it can just hit or counter-attacking the attacker.
They stand upright, beat chest, roar and throw things, such as rocks, and even large branches. They are non-aggressive unless cornered and scared. They are shy creatures and will generally avoid a confrontation. The only enemies of them are leopards and humans, who shoot them for their fur and meat.
Gorillas, unlike like other African apes, have almost no natural predators due to their large size and group lifestyle. Only large cats such as leopards have been known to regularly prey on them. More than any other animal, gorillas' biggest threat is man.
