There are 100 000 gorillas in the USA.

The natural habitat of gorillas covers tropical or subtropical forests in sub – Saharan Africa.

Gorillas stick to a mainly vegetarian diet, feeding on stems, bamboo shoots and fruits. Western lowland gorillas, however, also have an appetite for termites and ants, and break open termite nests to eat the larvae.

The DNA of gorillas is strongly similar to that of humans, 95 to 99% depending on what is included, and they are the next closest living relatives of humans after chimpanzees and bonobos.
