Wood do not quote its height probably because that gorilla doesn't look like one of 198 cm in height.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?

 @GuateGojira @Shadow 
Now that you guys have seen my comparisons, I hope they made things clearer. I've concluded based on the comparisons with M'bongo and Samson, Guhonda is likely over 570 to 580+lbs (or over 259 to 263 kg). The other males in Guhonda's size range are likely over 550 to 560+lbs (or over 250 to 254 kg). I'm normally not a fan of estimations, but I do have confidence in them when we include comparisons. Anyway, i just wanted to say what I didn't get to say in the other posts, I hope everything is clearer now.

I think, that it´s clear. We have for all animals confirmed weights and then some unconfirmed or estimations. Nothing wrong in discussing about these things, when keeping it clear when talking about confirmed cases and unconfirmed or what is estimated to be possible. I hope, that one day scientists would be able to get weighed one really big one again if some good reason like medical treatment would offer such possibility. Otherwise I hope, that people let gorillas live in peace and mind their own business. Reply
