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.

Body size of the Gorilla, take 2:

Ok, like I promised, here is the new comparative image of the body size of the gorilla species:

As you can see I made several changes in the comparison, including the change on the image of the Eastern lowland gorilla and also I added a comparative image of the average standing height of all the populations.

On the Cross River gorilla standing height, I put a question symbol because at this moment I could not found real standing measurements from this population, so while the image is scaled at 160 cm, we don't know the real height.

Also, please take in count that I use a captive gorilla for the height image and the porpuse is just to show the height, so I don't use images from the species itselfs.

Personally I think that the standing height figures of the Eastern lowland gorillas are to large, but as this is the information provided I will leave it like that.

Hope you like it, save it for future references. If you have questions, please feel free to ask.

Greetings to all.

Do you think these https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/YdKowp...0.jpg.webp, https://study.com/cimages/multimages/16/...illa_3.jpg and https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-silver...d0%26pl%3d are good images for the Western lowland gorilla? I think it is because the gorilla is standing erect on all fours. Reply
