This is a different type of mountain gorilla from the ones we usually post here. This is the Bwindi mountain gorillas, the ones we normally see are the Virunga mountain gorillas.

Ugandan gorillas somehow look closer to eastern lowland gorillas.

Kingo the Western lowland gorilla.

It's funny how despite being over 40 years old, he's nowhere near as big as the old Eastern gorillas we've seen, even young males look larger. This seems to prove our point that Eastern gorillas greatly surpass Western gorillas, even at similar age groups they still surpass them.

I always thought of Western gorillas having much more gracile build compared to the Eastern gorillas.

Indeed, even the young Isabukuru male dwarfs 40 year old Kingo, despite only being in his early 20's. Imagine how big Isabukuru would've gotten if he lived longer, he would likely be up there with Guhonda, maybe even surpass Guhonda if lucky. Reply
