What Am I -9

For the month of October my theme is What animal is this?
This week the focus is primate hands.
The smallest of the subspecies. I am native to parts of Africa and am a quiet, peaceful and non aggressive animal threatened by disease and poaching.

Western Lowland Gorilla

I'd hazard a guess that it could be a chimpanzee. I did wonder if it was a Bush baby but the hands don't look quite right.

I am thinking gorilla. Lovely capture too

[Wylie]

Those hands are so human it surely has to be a gorilla? Small- put me off though.

@salza @joysabin @pusspup @jacqbb @yaorenliu @Weezilou

It is the hands of a Western Lowland Gorilla. Gorillas are the largest of the great apes, but the western lowland gorilla is the smallest of the subspecies.
