Once you participate in both gorilla trekking and chimpanzee trekking in Africa, you will be able to understand the strongest of the two species by observing their behaviour in the world which contributes to their mass and overall strength for instance their diet, their height, their social structure which are determinant factors for their strength. Gorilla trekking in Africa is famous in the Virunga massif where you can find national parks Mgahinga national park and Bwindi impenetrable national park where you can participate in gorilla trekking in Uganda, for gorilla trekking in Rwanda, the activity is carried out in volcanoes national park, gorilla trekking in Congo in Virunga national park and kahuzi biega national park which will give you the chance to understand more about the endangered species and there interesting features in the wild.įor chimpanzee trekking in Africa, there are a number of different destinations you can take part in the memorable activity and these include chimpanzee trekking in queen Elizabeth national park where you can also get to see four of the big five animals in Uganda, chimpanzee trekking in Budongo forest, chimpanzee trekking in Nyungwe national park, chimpanzee trekking in Virunga national park among other different chimpanzee trekking destinations in Africa. These include their physical structure, their diet, and their closeness to the human species.What is Stronger a Gorilla or Chimpanzee : Gorillas and chimpanzees are among the most rewarding attractions that can be seen when you participate in your African safari. There are plenty of classifications that set the gorillas apart from the other apes. Gorillas are apes that belong to the hominoid family.Īpes are classified into two families: the hylobatidae or the lesser apes and the hominidae or the great apes. Orangutans have prominent mouths, while chimpanzees have large ears. Gorillas have very large heads but very small eyes and ears, and very large pointed teeth. The facial shape of the gorillas also sets them apart from other ‘great apes’. Gorillas have hair that is brownish in tone, while chimpanzees have black hair and orangutans, red-brown. The hair color of gorillas set them apart from orangutans and chimpanzees. Gorillas are more closely related to human beings than the other apes with 95% to 99% similar DNA’s. For example, the Eastern gorillas are darker than the Western gorillas, with the Mountain gorillas being the darkest gorilla subspecies. Each of these gorillas bears distinguishing marks.
The Western Gorilla with the subspecies of Western Lowland Gorilla and Cross River Gorilla and the Eastern Gorilla with the subspecies of Mountain Gorilla and Eastern Lowland Gorilla. There are two species of gorillas and two further subspecies within each. Gorillas are generally the larger species in the ape family and can weigh up to 600 lbs and grow as tall as 5′ 9′. So don’t expect a gorilla to have a tail. Monkeys, unlike apes however, have tails. Among the other eleven families of primates, only these two stand share similar body structures. Monkeys and apes almost have the same body structures as humans. Here is a list of other similarities and differences between gorillas and other apes that you should remember in case your son or daughter asks you when you next visit the local zoo: Some characteristics of true apes include agility for example when climbing tall trees (except for gorillas and humans), arm swinging, high levels of intelligence, living in the forests of Asia and Africa, and omnivorous with a diet of yellow ripe fruits, and small quantity of meat (although gorillas are primarily herbivore and folivores).
These primates are collectively called as the ‘lesser apes’. Those that belong to the hylobatidae family consists of, at the very least, twelve species of gibbons. These primates are collectively known as the ‘great apes’. The hominidae consists of chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans and humans. The family of hominoids is classified into two groups the hominidae and the hylobatidae. Apes belong to the family of primates called hominoidea. Apa is believed to be an onomatopoetic imitation from the blabbing of these animals. The word ‘Ape’ is derived from the old English word apa.
In fact this classification could even be carried out by a little child just by observing the obvious differences in the physical features of the different types of ape. The real challenge is trying to determine the characteristics of the gorilla which set it apart from other members of the ape family. This is not a widely known fact, but it is in fact the truth. Gorillas are a sub group of the family of great apes.
