Gorillini

The Gorillini are a tribe within the primate family Hominidae, which also includes humans. This tribe is characterized by its close genetic relationship to humans, sharing a common ancestor approximately 10 million years ago. The Gorillini tribe is primarily composed of gorillas, chimpanzees, and bonobos, though recent classifications suggest chimpanzees and bonobos form their own distinct tribe, Panini, due to their closer genetic ties to humans than to gorillas.1234

Gorillas, the largest of the apes, inhabit the tropical forests of equatorial Africa. They are primarily terrestrial and diurnal, with a vegetarian diet. Gorillas live in stable family groups led by one or more silverback males. All nonhuman apes, including gorillas, are classified as endangered species due to habitat destruction and hunting.245
