Male gorillas are the largest of the world primates, reaching heights of 6 feet (when standing erect) and weights up to 400 pounds. Enormously strong, they have broad shoulders, thick muscular biceps, and forearms longer than their upper arms, with an arm span of over 8.5 feet. Their short broad thumbs and big toes are opposable and allow both the hands and feet to be used for grasping. Gorillas are primarily terrestrial, but they are excellent climbers. Gorillas have large heads with prominent brow idges, a prognathic face, forward-facing wide-set eyes, very small ears and a wide flat nose with broadly flared nostrils. Like fingerprints, their nose prints are unique. Adult gorillas have 32 teeth, as do humans and the other apes. They are almost strictly vegetarian with the exception of an occasional meal of termites or ants. A custom metal display stand, S-BC-001, is also available.

Wild female gorillas stand 3 1/2 to 5 feet tall and weigh 150 to 220 pounds. Their skulls are less massive than the males, having a reduced nuchal crest and lacking a sagittal crest. The browridge is less pronounced and the canine teeth proportionally smaller. Gorillas live in small family groups numbering from eight to 20 individuals headed by one silverback and containing multiple females and their offspring. Average gorilla life span in the wild appears to be around 35 years. Long thought to be the only species of great ape that hadn't mastered the use of tools, recently a gorilla was seen using a rock as a tool for cracking nuts and another was seen using a stick to gauge the depth of water in the stream before wading into it. A custom metal display stand, S-BC-035, is also available. Original skull is courtesy of the Philadelphia Zoo.
