Western gorilla (Gorilla gorilla)
Range
The two subspecies of western gorilla differ markedly in their range and abundance. The Cross River gorilla (Gorilla gorilla diehli) is the most restricted of the gorillas, being found only in a few isolated populations on the Nigerian-Cameroon border (5). In contrast, the western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) is the most widespread, being found in areas of Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Congo, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and the Cabinda enclave of Angola (6).
