Cross River gorillas (Gorilla gorilla diehli) have been difficult to study due to their shy nature. However, it is estimated that an adult male weighs about 180 kg (396 lb).
There are four recognized types of gorillas: western lowland, eastern lowland, mountain, and Cross River gorillas.
# The Cross River Gorilla has the Latin name "Gorilla gorilla diehli". # The Eastern Gorilla has the Latin name "Gorilla beringei". # The Eastern Lowland Gorilla has the Latin name "Gorilla be.ringei graueri". # The Mountain Gorilla has the Latin name "Gorilla beringei beringei". # The Western Gorilla has the Latin name "Gorilla gorilla". # The Western Lowland Gorilla has the Latin name "Gorilla gorilla gorilla".
There are two species of Gorilla: Gorilla gorilla(Western Gorilla) and Gorilla beringei (Eastern Gorilla). There are four recognized subspecies:Western Lowlands Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla)Cross River Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla diehli)Mountain Gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei)Eastern Lowland Gorilla (Gorilla beringei graueri)The Bwindi Gorilla has been suggested as a third subspecies of Easter Gorilla. However, it has not yet been assigned a trinomen.
there are 4 species the lowland gorillas, the cross river gorillas, the nigerian/cameroonian gorilas; the mountain gorillas.
Gorillas are NOT extinct - yet - although several species are threatened with extinction right now due to loss of habitat/human encroachment and poaching. Current identified species and sub-species of gorillas are:Western Gorilla(Gorilla gorilla) Western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla)Cross river gorilla (Gorilla gorilla diehli)Eastern Gorilla(Gorilla beringei) Mountain gorilla(Gorilla beringei beringei)Eastern lowland gorilla (Gorilla beringei graueri)The range of the two species is separated by the Congo river and its tributaries. The western gorilla lives west central Africa while the eastern gorilla lives in east central Africa. As logging operations cut new roads into the remote areas inhabited by the gorillas, they destroy habitat and make access to the gorillas easier for poachers. The least threatened is the Western lowland gorilla - which is still classified as "vulnerable". The Eastern lowland gorilla is classified as "endangered" with around 4,000 such gorillas currently living in the wilds. The Mountain gorilla is critically endangered with less than 800 left. The Cross river gorilla is even more critically endangered, with less than 300 left.

A silverback gorilla is not a species of gorilla, but rather a name used to describe the male of the species whose fur appears silver in colour. since 2011, Gorillas have been divided into two species and four sub-species: The species 'Eastern Gorilla' (Gorilla Beringer), with the subspecies 'Eastern Lowland Gorilla' (Gorilla Beringer Graveri) and 'Mountain Gorilla' (Gorilla Beringer Beringel). And the species 'Western Gorilla' (Gorilla Gorilla), with the sub-species 'Western Lowland Gorilla' (Gorilla Gorilla Gorilla) and the 'Cross River Gorilla' (Gorilla Gorilla Diehli).
