Eastern gorilla
The eastern gorilla ("Gorilla beringei") is a critically endangered species of the genus "Gorilla" and the largest living primate. At present, the species is subdivided into two subspecies. Grauer's gorilla, formerly known as the eastern lowland gorilla ("G. b. graueri") is more populous, at about 3,800 individuals. The mountain gorilla ("G. b. beringei") has only about 1000 individuals. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature mentioned illegal hunting in its assessment of threats to the species.
Gigantophis
Gigantophis garstini is an extinct giant snake. Before the Paleocene constrictor genus "Titanoboa" was described from Colombia in 2009, "Gigantophis" was regarded as the largest snake ever recorded. "Gigantophis" lived about 40 million years ago during the Eocene epoch, and in the Paleogene Period within the northern Sahara, where Egypt and Algeria are now located.
