Gorillas
The document discusses three types of gorillas:
1. Western lowland gorilla
2. Eastern lowland gorilla
3. Mountain gorilla
Gorillas primarily reside in the tropical forests of Central and West Africa.
Gorillas eat vegetation such as leaves, stems, roots, vines, herbs, trees, and grasses to meet their nutritional needs.
Gorillas live in family groups called troops, which usually consist of 1-4 adult males, several females and young, with the average troop size being around 9 individuals. The oldest male gorilla is usually dominant in the troop.
Mountain gorillas
Mountain gorillas are one of the most endangered animals, with only around 600 remaining. They live in forests in East Central Africa but their habitat is being destroyed by deforestation. Poachers also hunt the gorillas for body parts to sell, posing a major threat. Conservation groups are working to protect the gorillas by raising awareness and funding protection programs, but if threats are not addressed the species could become extinct.
Gorilla powerpoint
Gorillas are large primates found in Africa. Males can reach 5'6" upright and 4'6" normally, while females reach 5' upright and 3'6"-4' normally. They live in mountainous forests in Africa and eat a variety of plants, fruits, and vegetables. Females give birth to single babies after 5-year intervals and recognize each other based on facial features. Their only natural predators are humans.
Gorilla power point
Gorillas are the largest living apes. They are peaceful, social, and gentle animals that are more genetically similar to humans than any other animal, with 98% DNA similarity. Gorillas live in forest lands where they make nests on the ground or in trees. They are herbivores that use tools to dig for and prepare leaves, shoots, stalks, worms, and insects to eat. Gorillas can weigh up to 400 pounds and have thick dark hair covering their bodies except for their faces, chests, underarms, and palms.

The golden eagle is a bird of prey found in forests and open areas with thickets and tundra. It has a partial migration pattern and diet consisting of small to medium mammals and some large birds. Golden eagles stand about 3 feet tall with a wingspan over 6 feet, allowing them to dive at speeds over 120 mph to catch prey like 8-pound hares. Their few natural predators include people.
Descriptions of gorillas
Mountain gorillas have shorter arms and longer hair than lowland gorillas, while eastern gorillas have blacker hair and bigger jaws. Only western lowland and mountain gorilla males develop silvery backs when mature. Gorillas are largely vegetarian but western lowlands also eat insects. Gorillas live in family groups of 10-30 led by a single male, while other males wander alone or join groups temporarily.
Mountain gorillas
Mountain gorillas are one of the most endangered animals, with only around 600 remaining. They live in forests in East Central Africa but their habitat is being destroyed by deforestation. Hunters are also poaching the gorillas for zoos or to sell their body parts, further threatening the species. Conservation groups are working to protect the gorillas by raising awareness and funding protection programs, but if more is not done the mountain gorilla could become extinct.
The llama!
The document summarizes information about llamas, including their scientific classification as mammals in the order Artiodactyla and family Camelidae. It describes their physical appearance as having furry bodies, ears, nose, short tails, and weighing up to 200 kilograms fully grown. Llamas live in the Andes Mountains of South America, have a gestation period of 350 days, and males mature at 2-2.5 years while females mature at 18-24 months. Their diet consists of grass, shrubs, and mountain vegetation. Humans impact llamas through habitat destruction and mining.

Endangered Species Day is celebrated on May 17th and is an opportunity to learn about and protect endangered wildlife. The document then provides information on the panda, white rhinoceros, brown bear, polar bear, leopard, and white tiger - describing their physical characteristics, habitats, populations, and conservation status. Many of these species are threatened by habitat loss and poaching. The materials in the document were obtained from Wikipedia articles on each animal that are cited at the end.
Lions and jaguars
Jaguars are the largest cats in South America, historically found throughout Central and South America but now primarily in remote Amazon regions. They were prominent in ancient Native American cultures and get their name from a Native American word meaning "he kills with one leap." Females have litters of 1-4 cubs and defend them fiercely from any threats, including the father. Jaguars live solitary lives and defend their own territories. They remain threatened by hunting for their spotted fur.
Categorization of extinct species
The document outlines the classifications used by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to assess the extinction risk of species. There are nine categories ranging from extinct to least concern. Extinct means no individuals remain, extinct in the wild means only surviving in captivity, and critically endangered means extremely high risk of extinction in the wild. Several example species are provided for each category.

Felidae by fatima khalid
The family Felidae consists of at least 36 wild cat species that vary widely in size and habitat but share similar morphological features. Larger felid species are threatened by human persecution while smaller cats are hunted for fur. Nearly half of felid species are considered at high risk of extinction by the IUCN. Felids have specialized dental anatomy and are adapted for hunting, with traits like retractable claws and flexible forelimbs. Their reproductive cycles vary between species. Many felids can be restrained and handled safely for veterinary procedures using specialized equipment. Conservation efforts are needed to protect threatened felid populations and ecosystems.
Big Cats
Big cats live in habitats across Africa and grasslands. They hunt animals like impala and have different body sizes. Big cats care for their young and are classified in the Felidae family. Some big cat species like cheetahs and jaguars are found in places like New Mexico and are endangered. Most big cats live in savannas and have retractable claws and tear marks to help with vision.
Save tigers life
Tigers are the largest cat species, reaching over 3 meters long and weighing up to 306 kg. They once ranged widely across Asia but over the past 100 years their populations have declined drastically due to hunting and loss of habitat. There are now estimated to be only around 3,200 tigers left in the wild worldwide, with the Bengal tiger having the highest population of around 1,411 but their numbers are still falling due to poaching and conflicts with humans. Saving tigers is important to also preserve the forests they rely on for survival.
Cheetah powerpoint
The cheetah is a golden brown carnivore with black spots that lives in open grasslands and bushy areas in Africa. It weighs between 86 to 143 pounds as an adult, has yellow eyes and a tear-stained face, and hunts small prey like gazelles using stealth and speed, being the fastest land mammal. Cheetah cubs stay with their mothers for 12 to 20 months before dispersing.

It states that hunting caused giraffe numbers to decline as they were shot for food by local hunters. The document also classifies giraffes as vertebrate mammals that live in forests in Africa, where they eat grass and can be preyed on by lions or leopards. It concludes by stating that giraffes are related to camels and leopards in their scientific name.
Stefan biodiversity slides ppt
The white tiger is a rare subspecies of the Bengal tiger that has a genetic defect causing a lack of pigmentation. It lives in the forests and jungles of India and Bangladesh, but is now endangered due to loss of habitat and poaching. White tigers are typically larger than normal tigers, have blue eyes rather than yellow or green, and have difficulty camouflaging in the wild. Conservation efforts aim to protect the remaining wild populations and breed white tigers in captivity to increase their numbers.

Persuasive Essay On Mountain Gorillas
Dian Fossey took her first trip to Africa in 1963 where she fell in love with mountain gorillas. She returned in 1967 and set up the Karisoke Research Station in Rwanda to study the gorillas. It took time, but Fossey was eventually able to get close to the gorillas by imitating their behavior. She took a stand against poachers who were killing gorillas, and disrupted and dismantled poacher traps and hunting dogs, even kidnapping a poacher's son. Fossey risked her life to protect the gorillas until her untimely death.

Clasification of primates
Primates show trends toward more elaborate brains and longer gestation periods, allowing for increased offspring development. Prosimians differ from anthropoids in having tooth combs and smaller brains. Platyrrhines have prehensile tails while catarrhines do not. Cercopithecoids are quadrupedal while hominoids include brachiators. Great apes have larger canines and dimorphism than humans.

Gorillas are vegetarians that eat fruits, leaves, and roots. They are threatened by leopards and crocodiles in the wild. Male gorillas can grow up to 1.7 meters tall and weigh 135-220 kg, while females reach 1.5 meters and 70-90 kg. Gorilla families are led by a silverback male, who protects the family and leads them to new areas daily to find food. Gorillas live in rainforests where their habitat is threatened by deforestation and hunting, and their numbers have declined to under 700 in the wild with lifespans of around 35 years.
Mountain gorillas
Mountain gorillas are one of the most endangered animals, with only around 600 remaining. They are threatened by habitat loss as their forest homes are cut down for roads and development. Poachers also hunt the gorillas for zoos or to sell their body parts. Conservation groups are working to protect the gorillas by raising awareness and funding protection programs, but if threats are not addressed the mountain gorilla could become extinct.

Endangered species
Polar bears are large, carnivorous bears found primarily in the Arctic Circle regions. They depend on sea ice for hunting and are classified as marine mammals. Tigers are the largest cat species known for their vertical stripe patterns. They are apex predators that primarily prey on ungulates. Gorillas are large, herbivorous apes found in the forests of central Africa. There are two species of gorillas divided into several subspecies. Gorillas inhabit tropical or subtropical forests in Africa.
The tiger]
The tiger is a large carnivore found in forests across Asia and Africa. There are 6 subspecies defined by their geographic ranges, with some populations facing near extinction. Efforts are underway to more than double tiger populations by 2022 through conservation programs and international agreements, but poaching remains a severe threat without further action.
future of Gorilla
Gorillas are the largest of all primates and there are only two remaining species - eastern and western gorillas. Gorillas share many human-like characteristics and live in family troops led by a dominant male silverback. While large in size, gorillas are generally gentle and protect their families, communicating through verbal and non-verbal methods. Gorillas are intelligent animals that forage daily and never sleep in the same place twice. Their populations are declining due to human activities like habitat destruction.
Reptiles ppt
Reptiles are cold-blooded animals that can survive on land and in water. There are four main groups of reptiles: crocodiles, lizards, turtles, and snakes. Crocodiles are found in tropical environments and can stay underwater for over an hour. Lizards come in many varieties and shed their skin as they grow. Turtles have a hard shell and can retract their head inside. Snakes shed their skin several times per year as they grow and are carnivorous.
Fennelly gorilla
Gorillas live in family groups called troops of 5 to 10 members in the forests and mountain forests of Africa. They are endangered due to being poached for their meat and trophies as well as their low reproduction rates. Conservation efforts like the Great Ape Survival Project are working to protect gorillas and help their populations recover.
Silverback gorilla
The document summarizes information about mountain gorillas, including their scientific name, habitat ranges in Uganda and Virungas, diet of over 100 plant species to fulfill their water needs, robust build with long muscular arms and broad hands/feet, breeding involving 8.5 month gestation and 4 year intervals between births, ability to stand upright like humans, and a video about their silverback strut walk. It concludes with thanks for watching the presentation on silverback gorillas.
Powerpoint 1
The tiger is the largest cat species and once had nine subspecies, but three are now extinct and the rest are endangered. There were around 100,000 tigers a century ago but only an estimated 4,000-5,500 remain in the wild due to poaching and habitat loss. Leopards live across Africa and Asia and are also threatened by hunting and habitat destruction. Giant pandas only live in China and eat bamboo, while rhinoceroses in Asia and Africa are endangered because of poaching for their horns. Mountain gorillas number less than 650 and face forest destruction.

Mountain gorillas number less than 650 and face forest destruction.

- 4. Gorilla Taxonomy. • Up to four subspecies of Gorilla gorilla are currently recognized. • I: Western Group: • A) Gorilla gorilla gorilla, The Western Lowland Gorilla. • B) G. g. diehli, The Cross River Gorilla. • II. Eastern Group. • C) G. g. graueri, The Eastern Lowland Gorilla. • D) G. g. beringei, The Mountain Gorilla.

- 7. Eastern Lowland Gorilla, G. g. graueri.
- 8. The Mountain Gorilla, G. g. beringei.
- 10. Gorilla Morphology. • Large Size. • Arms longer than legs. • Sexual dimorphism in size, males up to 200kg, females 70-100 kg. • Knuckle walkers/quadrupedal. • Sagittal Crest, especially in males. • Subpecies differentiated by shape of nostrils, relative size and robusticity, and body hair.
- 11. Skull with Sagittal Crest.
- 13. Gorilla Polygynous Social Groups. • Groups composed of one adult “Silverback” Male and several females, plus offspring. • Group numbers range from 7-11 individuals in mountain gorillas. • Immature “Blackback” males may remain with group until maturity. • Mountain gorillas are the most studied subspecies.
- 14. Gorilla Home and Day Range. • Gorilla home ranges vary depending on the habitat and subspecies in question. • Home ranges can be as large as 100 ha. • Day ranges average about 500 meters.
- 15. Gorilla Diet. • Gorillas are the most folivorous of the Great Apes. • Some fruit is eaten.
- 16. Gorilla Reproduction. • Extreme K selection. • Gorillas give birth to one offspring at a time. • Gestation is about 256 days. • Birth intervals between 36 and 59 months, depending on the subspecies.
- 17. Mother and baby.
- 18. Conservation Status of Gorillas. • All Gorilla subspecies are protected by CITES • Habitat loss is a major threat. • Poaching and the bushmeat trade are major threats too. • Diseases, such as Ebola, have devastated both gorilla and chimpanzee populations in the Odzala National Park in Zaire.
- 19. Population estimates. • Between 10,000 and 20,000 Western Lowland Gorillas. • Up to 10,000 Eastern Lowland Gorillas. • Between 350 and 650 Mountain Gorillas. • Between 100-200 Cross River Gorillas.
- 20. Gorilla survival in the future. • Depends on Ecosystem and Habitat protection. • Protection from poaching and bushmeat trade. • Reproduction in captivity. • New discoveries?
Editor's Notes
- The most abundant of the gorilla subspecies, and is also the typical gorilla seen in captivity.
- The most recently discovered subspecies of gorilla, and fewest in number. Morphologically the Cross River gorilla is more gracile than the western lowland gorilla. Originally described as a distinct subspecies in 1904.
- The Eastern Lowland Gorilla is the largest subspecies of gorilla.
- Between 300-600 Mountain Gorillas are left. Diane Fossey is the Primatologist most associated with these.
- Note arms are longer than the legs, and the knuckle walking posture.
- Maternal care is a learned behavior in gorillas. Photos from Brookfield Zoo.
- Bwindi Impenetrable Forest Gorillas may be intergrades between graueri and beringei.
- There is the possibility of a new gorilla subspecies from northern Zaire being investigated.
