Wood do not quote its height probably because that gorilla doesn't look like one of 198 cm in height. Probably it was about the same height than the Commander Gatti.

The figure of 206 cm tall of Carwardine is incorrect.

I think that the modern silverbacks like Guhonda seems bigger than this specimen. What do you think?

Males like Guhonda might be heavier, but this male may have the length or height advantage over them. Guhonda specifically is very bulky but he seems medium in length to me. I remember seeing him near his oldest son and his son actually seemed a bit longer and taller than him, though Guhonda was still bulkier. It might just be the positioning but it does seem like it.

Here's a little clip, you'll see him and his son together. Skip to 0:56 secs, then 1:24 min and continue to 1:48 min

In 56 secs Guhonda is in the centre while his older son is on the right. In 1:24 min just know Guhonda is on the left side of the screen while his son is the furthest away. Reply
