Chimps are between 170,000 and 300,000 chimps in the wild.
Okay.
They're also endangered.
Oh, are gorillas born at four pounds and die at 450 pounds?
Gorillas weigh, yeah, four pounds, 1.4 to 1.8 kilograms at birth.
And full-grown male gorillas weigh between 300 and 485 pounds.
485.
And females 200 to 250.
Do gorillas see in the same color as us?
It says, couldn't find a reliable source confirming it, but it appears that gorillas see very similarly to humans, full color spectrum.
There was a study done in 2008 proving that gorillas and chimps have color preferences supporting that.
And then our gorillas sense of smell better than ours.
Gorillas depend more on sight than smell, unlike monkeys.
They have a good smell, though, can sense sweat on humans.
Uh-oh.
Or the musk of an unknown gorilla.
They can smell that.
Males use a female's odor to determine her reproductive status.
That's it.
