What is the description of the African Gorilla?

They are the largest most powerful species of the primates.
They have large bodies but some of their body parts are small, like their: eyes, and ears they have big nostrils though.
Their jaw muscles are large and their teeth are strong.
Coarse dark hair covers the entire body except for the face, ears, hands, and feet.
They have no tails and their fur is jet black.

Where in Africa does my animal live? Where do they live?

African gorillas live in Africa's tropical secondary and montane forests.
The open canopy lets sun reach the forest floor.
Gorillas live at a wide range of altitudes, from G. gorilla at sea level in western Africa, to habitat of almost 4,000 meters of elevation for G. beringei.
Though far less vegetation is present at these higher altitudes, enough is available for G. beringei to have a plentiful food supply.
