Western Lowland Gorilla
Western lowland gorillas are one of five subspecies of gorillas and the only one found in zoos. Like the other types of gorillas, they live in small family groups consisting of one male, several females and their offspring. The largest primates in the world, gorillas are vegetarians, eating a variety of leaves, roots, and fruits. Zoo Atlanta has one of the largest collections of western lowland gorillas in the U.S. and is a leader in behavioral studies on them.
