Gorillas are the largest of the world primates. The adult male gorilla stands 4 to 6 feet tall when standing erect on slightly bowed legs. Wild males can weigh between 300 and 400 pounds. Enormously strong with compact bodies and wide chests, a large adult male may have an arm span over 8.5 feet and a chest circumference of almost 60 inches. Gorillas are primarily terrestrial but they are excellent climbers, even large males being known to climb high in sturdy trees while feeding. Their large heads possess prominent brow ridges, a forward-projecting jaw, 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. Both sexes have sharp prominent canines but the males are proportionately larger. Their molars are broad and flat in keeping with their tough fibrous, primarily vegetarian diet. Original skull is courtesy of the Philadelphia Zoo..
