Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla diehli) The cross river gorilla is one
of two subspecies of western gorilla (the other being the more
numerous western lowland gorilla) found in the jungles on the
African continent. The cross river gorilla is now incredibly
rare in the wild and there are just a handful of cross river
gorilla individuals thought to be in just 11 locations.  The
cross river gorilla is found inhabiting the tropical jungles and
forests of western and central Africa, along with lowland swamps

than 300 individuals are estimated to be inhabiting the forests.
There are two separate sub-species of western gorilla which are
the western lowland gorilla and the cross river gorilla.
