The western gorilla is a large ape and one of the closest relatives of humans. It lives in the tropical forests of Central Africa and lives in groups led by an adult male.
The western gorilla differs from the eastern one by a smaller body size and narrower chest. It is important for the forest because it disperses plant seeds and helps maintain tree diversity.
