Gorilla Studies (Patreon)

I know a lot of folks find apes a bit unappealing, but I find them very interesting! They're so similar to us in so many ways, and yet so different. I think that's neat! Since their anatomy is pretty close to ours, they're a lot more intuitive to study. Fun facts:

The western gorilla's scientific name is Gorilla Gorilla.,

They share 98.4% of their DNA with humans.

Like humans, they have individual fingerprints.,

They are nowhere near as aggressive as media often suggests. Aggression occurs occasionally, but most conflicts are resolved by threat displays to show dominance.,

They have small penises.
