Gorilla Habitats
Gorillas exclusively inhabit the humid tropical forests of Africa and are categorized into two species, Eastern and Western gorillas. At some point, they were separated, most likely during the Ice Age. These two species have been separated for so long that they now exhibit distinct characteristics.
Gorillas generally do not leave the forest except for food foraging purposes, as they heavily rely on it for survival. However, mountain gorillas have been found climbing higher than the tree line, with traces even discovered at altitudes of up to 4,000 meters.
