The overall structure and components of the digestive system in gorillas and humans are similar. However, gorillas have a larger and more developed large intestine to help digest plant material efficiently, as they mainly eat a vegetarian diet. Humans have a longer small intestine to aid in the absorption of nutrients from a more varied diet.
