Gorilla ist eine der 24 Arten in diesem Atlas. Kein Katalog: Evolution, Anatomie, Verhalten, Kultur, Ikonen, Schutz und Areal sind ein System.
Scores vergleichen Tempo, Intelligenz, Areal, Resilienz, kulturellen Einfluss und ökologische Rolle. Redaktionelle Relativwerte, kein Laborranking.
Sieben Kapitel graben nach: Ursprünge, Körper und Sinne, Leben und Verhalten, Kultur, Ikonen, Schutzdruck und das mit Menschen geteilte Areal.
Tiefe Einführung
Deep dive: Gorilla
Gorilla is not a single postcard animal. It is a set of populations, subspecies and human rules inside the wildlife family of this atlas.
Vielfalt, Körper, Kultur und Areale — plus eine Linse für diese Sprachregion.
Diversity inside the type
Field guides collapse many lineages into the English word Gorilla. Subspecies, flyways and captive lines do not share one fate -- bald eagles and Philippine eagles, or western and mountain gorillas, are the caution.
This atlas picks a Wikipedia title as the hero image and then keeps the rest of the grade in view so a recovered stock cannot launder a CR cousin.
Life in the landscape
A massive knuckle-walker with a sagittal crest in males, a gut for fibrous plants, and nests built new each night. The atlas type is western; the silverback image is shared.
All-day herbivory -- fruit in western forests, more pith in some mountain diets. A CR ape is a slow calorie machine, not a hunter.
Culture and meaning
English-language culture met the Gorilla through film, law, heraldry and zoos. Those portrayals move money and sometimes take; they are not a field census.
The culture chapter dates posters and statutes so a 1975 film or a 1961 logo cannot pretend to be a 2020s Red List.
Conservation and money
Western Gorilla Critically Endangered; mountain Gorilla (a different species, G. beringei) is Endangered after a guarded rebound. Resilience here follows the atlas type: CR.
Tourism, conflict payments, quotas and captive loans are dated economic bands in the market chapter -- not live prices and not a best-species prize.

Biology deep dive: Gorilla
Gorilla biology is a stack of structure, energy, sensing and hard limits. The four sections below are the same headings used across the atlas so types can be compared without a best-species frame.
Anatomie, Sinne, Verhalten und Grenzen — plus Feldsprach dieser Region.
Structure
A massive knuckle-walker with a sagittal crest in males, a gut for fibrous plants, and nests built new each night. The atlas type is western; the silverback image is shared.
Load paths and tissues (not metals) are expanded in the anatomy chapter.
Energy and foraging
All-day herbivory -- fruit in western forests, more pith in some mountain diets. A CR ape is a slow calorie machine, not a hunter.
The how-it-works diagrams reduce that budget to a six-node loop.
Senses and control
Close social vision and smell. Intelligence here is ranked highest among the 24 for ape social learning -- still below a marketing superlative.
Control here means the animal steering itself -- not a vehicle ECU.
Limits
Ebola, bushmeat and logging. A mountain rebound is a different species. Lowest resilience in the atlas is a CR statement.
Resilience scores encode those limits relative to the other 23 types.
