Western lowland gorillas come from central Africa. The geographic range spans from Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon.
Thick montane forests, lowland swamplands, and dense woods provide the prefect home for them. Jet black skin combines with coarse black hair over most of the body. Faces, ears, hands, and feet remain completely bare
Older males grow grey hair on the back and rump. This feature earns them the name of silverbacks. Large hands have big thumbs and flat fingernails. Short muzzles, large nostrils, small eyes, and thick brow ridges define the face.
Loud, deep grunts, roaring barks, and chest-beating sounds serve as communication calls. Broad, strong teeth and huge jaws muscles easily crush heavy, tough plants. Ripe fruit and green vegetables satisfy the daily diet.
Foraging patterns change with the seasons based on what fruit drops from the branches. Neighboring family groups share forest spaces peacefully without aggressive territorial habits.

Pillar, the western lowland female gorilla skull replica loves shooting guns. It does not matter what type of gun. She is up for a mounted shooting ride any day. Her favorite gun is her Tarus Judge. Her husband, John Wayne, always accompanies her to these events.
Bruce, the Bornean orangutan male skull replica, is a professional bull rider. He is the champion of all bull riders in the world.
Sam, the Siamang gibbon male skull replica, rides a bull named Slime. Slime always dumps his cowboys in the dirt. Not today Sam said to Slime.
William, the white-handed gibbon skull replica, is just like cool hand Luke. He is mounting Lurch, the large, Brahman bull today. He is hoping for the eight second bell to ring while he is still on.
The crowd went wild on every ride. All three of them had the very same ride time, so they all won the world champion bull rider gold buckle of professional rodeo and a massive one-million-dollar bonus check!
