Gorilla (scientific name: Gorilla) is a general term for primates, hominids, and the genus Gorilla. It is the largest species among all extant primates, with a shoulder height of about 0.85 meters when quadruped and a height of 1.6-1.8 meters when standing. An upright gorilla can reach a height of 1.75 meters, but its actual length is longer than this height because its knees cannot be truly extended. He has a robust physique, with no hair on his face and ears, and his forehead is often very high above his eyes. The jawbone protrudes more than the cheekbones. Vegetative, herbivorous, mainly feeds on fruits, leaves, and branches. Survives in the jungles near the equator of the African continent.
