Habitat and Range
The eastern lowland gorilla live in the lowlands and are only found in the Democratic Republic of Congo. They are also found in tropical forests, and in a lot of National Parks.
Predators/Enemies
The leopards have the ability to kill adult gorillas with their teeth and speed. Also, humans are a predator because they are poaching for meat, and body parts for medicine and magical charms.
Defense Mechanisms
When a gorilla is in fear, he makes a noise to alarm the other gorillas. They try to make themselves scary by standing on two legs and by beating their chest and screaming and roaring.
Threats
Humans are moving east into the gorillas habitat which is destroying their land to make room for farm animals and farms. There's only one protected place in a gorillas range and it's called Kahuzi-Biega National Park. They are also used as pets and their body parts are used in medicine and for magical charms. The population has lowered down to 17,000 to less then 2,000 in the last 15 years .
