Gorillas live in the tropical forests of equatorial Africa. The gorilla habitat and the distribution range for the two species, the eastern and western gorillas, is divided by almost 900km (560miles)

The eastern lowland gorilla, also known as Grauer's gorilla is a Critically Endangered subspecies of eastern gorilla which are found only in the mountainous forests of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.
