Although lions and leopards may come into contact in sub-Saharan Africa, they are generally not known to interbreed naturally. However, there have been anecdotal reports of felids larger than the cheetah but smaller than the lion, with a lion-like face, from the Central African Republic, Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda.

Gorillas they dwell on the grounds, and they are predominantly herbivores that inhabit the forest of central of sub-Saharan . Gorillas are of two types that is.   - Eastern gorillas and western gorillas they are the largest living primates.

The Mountain inhabits the albertine rift montane and virunga volcanoes Evolution and classification The closest relatives of gorillas are the other two chimpanzees and humans. All of them coming from the common ancestor about 7 million years ago. Human gene sequences differ by 1.6% on average gorilla genes. Until recently, gorillas were considered to be a single species, with three...
