Information about the Western Lowland Gorilla:
Western Lowland Gorillas are large terrestrial primates native to the montane, primary and lowland forests of Central Africa. It is the smallest of the gorilla sub-species; males usually stand about 5-6 feet (1.5-1.8 meters) weighing roughly 300-600 pounds (140-270 kilograms) Like other gorillas species the females are smaller than the males. The gorillas spend much of their time feeding on the forest floor. Their diet is mostly based on plants such as bamboo, but they will also eat insects and small reptiles. Western Lowland Gorillas are the ones that are usually seen in zoos, and there are several hundred in captivity all over the world. Due to habitat loss, poaching and other environmental pressures all gorillas in Africa are considered critically endangered, and the entire population in the wild of is thought to be less than 50,000 total animals. The Cincinnati Zoo in Ohio is noted for it’s success in breeding these rare apes.

Artist’s notes:
The Western Lowland Gorilla was completed on 7.15.2008. This drawing was done far enough back that I really hadn’t be vigilant enough to make sure the reference photos I used were actual depictions of the animals I intended to draw. I had this gorilla mislabeled as G. b. beringei (Mountain Gorilla) and of course I found this annoying – as it was an easily avoidable mistake. Some time later I created a drawing of proper Mountain Gorilla and switched the information around to the correct image. Hopefully in the future I will avoid errors like this.

Information about the Margay:
The Margay is a smaller member of the feline family. It is native to southern North America, down through much of Central America and most of South America. Like many other species of cat, the Margay is a solitary hunter. It prefers remote sections of very dense tropical and subtropical rainforests and cloudforests. It looks similar to the Ocelot, but the head is a little smaller with longer legs and tail. The cat weighs from 5.7 to 8.8 pounds (2.6 to 4 kilograms), with a body length of 19 to 31 inches (48 to 79 centimeters), and a tail length of 13 to 20 in (33 to 51 centimeters.) Because of unregulated hunting and habitat loss this cat is considered endangered by some environmental groups.
