Safari Ltd Lowland Gorilla With Baby

Description

Out of the African jungle and into your living room comes this lowland gorilla family! While this figurine may look adorable with the baby clinging to its mother, its also scientifically accurate as infants ride their mothers until theyre old enough to fend for themselves.

History:Like all gorilla species, lowland gorillas are sadly endangered. They suffer from the most common forms of depopulation, including poaching and deforestation resulting in a loss of habitat. However, gorillas are also susceptible to diseases such as Ebola – past outbreaks had moved lowland gorillas from endangered to critically endangered. Still, numbers have begun to stabilized and rebound and there is hope for the lowland gorilla going forward.

Scientific Name:Gorilla gorilla gorilla

Characteristics:Typical of all primates, lowland gorillas are very intelligent and can use natural tools and learn basic sign language. Such astuteness is depicted in this expertly painted lowland gorilla with baby toy figurine familys eyes, as they strut over to say hello!

Size:10.41cm long and 8.38 cm tall, this lowland gorilla with baby toy model is a little bigger than a credit card stood on its side. Like all gorilla species, lowland gorillas exhibit dark blackish-brown hair as well as hickory brown eyes.
