The '''gorilla''', the largest of the living primates, is a ground-dwelling omnivore that inhabits the forests of Africa. Gorillas are divided into two species and (under debate as of 2006 {{fact-science}}) either four or five subspecies. Comparison of DNA sequences of humans and gorillas show them to be 99% identical. However, this in no way proves that they share a common ancestor, or that they are related; common design is the most likely explanation. <ref>[http://www.answersingenesis.org/docs2.4369gc8-25-2000.asp]</ref>

Attempts have been made to teach a gorilla named Koko a form of sign language, the success of which is debatable but nonetheless fascinating.<ref>As part of her research into animal communication in 1972, a young graduate student in developmental psychology volunteered to teach sign language to a 1-year-old female Gorilla named Koko.
