Finally I finished my comparative image of the size of the two gorilla species with its own subspecies:

In order to get all the information available I checked several books and webpages, but must of the information are just random figures and unreliable estimations. Also, I did not used information of captive specimens, altough there is one great study about gorillas in North American Zoos that I will like to include in the future, maybe.

I checked that very few sources used real measurements and some of them are just a copy past from other papers, so when possible I used the original values.

I apologies if I don't provide more details in this moment, but you can make your questions and with pleasure, and if I have the time, I will answere them to you next monday.

Greetings to all.

Sorry Guate, but the image for the Eastern Lowland gorilla is actually a Western lowland gorilla.

Here, in the video below, is a good video of a silverback Eastern lowland gorilla. Maybe you can get a still image by screenshotting it?
