Much of the vegetation consumed by gorilas is composed of cellulose and other fibrous materials. The gorilla relies on microbes that colonise the gut to break this material down and synthesize sugars, amino acids, vitamins and fats. It is these nutrients that sustain the gorilla.
Without these microbes the gorilla would starve. Even with these microbes, gorillas have limited energy, and are not particularly mobile. Because the plants they eat are not very energy dense, gorillas spend much of their waking day eating.
There are two species of Gorilla: Gorilla gorilla(Western Gorilla) and Gorilla beringei (Eastern Gorilla). There are four recognized subspecies:Western Lowlands Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla)Cross River Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla diehli)Mountain Gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei)Eastern Lowland Gorilla (Gorilla beringei graueri)The Bwindi Gorilla has been suggested as a third subspecies of Easter Gorilla. However, it has not yet been assigned a trinomen.
