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. <ref>[http://www.utexas.edu/courses/gene/L37.htm#IV| Heredity, Evolution and Society]</ref>
