The Eastern Gorilla (Gorilla beringei) is a species of the genus Gorilla and the largest living primate. At present, the species is subdivided into two subspecies. The Eastern Lowland Gorilla (G. b. graueri) is the most populous, at about 16,000 individuals. The Mountain Gorilla (G. b. beringei) has only about 700 individuals. In addition, scientists are considering elevating the Bwindi gorilla population (which numbers about half of the Mountain Gorilla population) to the rank of subspecies. Physical characteristicsThe Eastern Gorilla is a large hominid with a large head, broad chest, and long arms. It has a flat nose with large nostrils. The face, hands, feet and breast are bald. The fur is mainly black, but adult males have a silvery "saddle" on their back. When the gorilla gets older, the entire fur becomes grayish, much like the gray hair of elderly people. This is why the older males are sometimes called Silverbacks. The Eastern Lowland Gorilla has a shorter, thicker, deep black fur, while the Mountain Gorilla has a more bluish color. The Mountain Gorilla is usually slightly larger than the Eastern Lowland Gorilla. Males are much larger than females. A full-grown adult male can weigh up to 220 kg. The tallest silverback recorded was a 1.94 m (6.4 ft) individual shot in Alimbongo, northern Kivu in May 1938 and the heaviest was a 1.83 m (6 ft) silverback shot in Ambam, Cameroon which weighed about 266 kg (585 lb).

We would be sad for a while. That's about it. It's likely that people will some day make farms, then houses, then cities where once the gorilla roamed free.
