Sharing approximately 98% of their DNA with humans, gorillas are our closest relatives after chimpanzees and bonobos.
However, for decades gorillas have been the victims of uncontrolled hunting, disease, habitat loss and the ravages of human conflict. Their numbers fell to around 200,000, and they are now considered an endangered species.
Gorillas are considered highly intelligent. A few individuals in captivity have been taught to use sign language. Like the other great apes, gorillas can laugh, grieve, have “rich emotional lives”, develop strong family bonds, make and use tools, and think about the past and the future.

About this Picture
‘Silverback’ is a downloadable hi-definition PDF image scanned from my original oil painting. You will receive a 22 x 22 inch PDF image (26 x 26 inches including the border), ideally suited for printing onto canvas. A ‘Museum style’ white border is added to each side of the picture to facilitate mounting the canvas on a stretcher board.
After clicking the Add to Cart button and completing the payment process, you will immediately receive a download link for your picture. Please note that you are purchasing a high-resolution PDF file – not a physical painting. If you prefer a ready-to-mount canvas print you can contact me for postage & prices.
