Answer:

Explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally Gorillas are considered to be largest and wisest among the apes family. And they are of various types and sizes.

The western gorillas are found in the Congo basin area, and their hands are structured in such a way that they are longer than the legs.

These Gorillas' arms are longer than their legs, therefore, when they move on all fours, they knuckle-walk, supporting their weight on the third and fourth digits of their curled hands.
