I wrote to Virunga Park in Congo and asked if they have some recent information about weights/sizes of gorillas.

Here is one quote:

"About all the questions you have asked, we do not have recent research done yet but what i have seen my self as a silver back gorilla, it was weighing 199 kgs, according to the research that was recently conducted by then on the same gorilla, it was indeed huge and its height am not sure, but it was not tall, what i know it was huge huge and huge. "


I might get some more information tomorrow at some time if lucky, but when I told about it, that participating to discussions about gorillas, I was asked to share this also here:


"Since you discuss a lot about life style of gorillas, add this issue on your table for further discussion https://www.virungaparkcongo.com/information/why-are-gorillas-poached/

You can actually share the link with your friends, people living nearby the park, have remained hostile to the gorillas, i really don't know what do to these people;"


That problem reminded me about this video, it´s 10 years old but how much is changed really in that time....
