There are only two exact specimens of the gorilla species, and those would be the Eastern Gorilla and the Western Gorilla.
Gorillas are classified into two species: Western and Eastern gorillas, which further include four subspecies: Western Lowland Gorilla, Cross River Gorilla, Mountain Gorilla, and Eastern Lowland Gorilla. Each subspecies has varying populations and conservation statuses, with the Mountain Gorilla seeing a recovery due to successful conservation efforts. Protecting these great apes is crucial for maintaining their ecosystems and biodiversity.
