There are two different types of gorillas, the lowland gorilla and mountain gorilla. Mountain gorillas cover a wide range of elevations ranging all the way up to 4,267 m, while the lowland gorilla live in dense forests and lowland swamps and marshes as low as sea level. Lowland gorillas like a lot of fruit while mountain gorillas eat herbs, stems and roots taking up a majority of the omnivores day. Both species of gorillas are endangered and have been being poached for a long time.
