Gorilla Facts provides general educational and journalistic information about gorillas, wildlife science, habitats, and conservation. By using the site, you acknowledge the limitations below.
Educational information only
Content is not professional veterinary, medical, legal, financial, travel, wildlife-handling, animal-care, or conservation-management advice. Decisions involving an animal, protected area, permit, health risk, travel plan, donation, or emergency should be made with the relevant qualified professional or authority.
Scientific uncertainty and changing information
Science develops over time. Taxonomy, population estimates, conservation categories, laws, disease guidance, research interpretations, and organizational programs may change after publication. We aim to date and source important claims, but we cannot guarantee that every page is complete, current, or free from error at all times.
Wildlife safety and ethics
Nothing on this site should be interpreted as encouragement to approach, touch, feed, provoke, capture, purchase, keep, or otherwise interfere with a wild gorilla or other wildlife. Follow local law, protected-area rules, disease precautions, and instructions from authorized guides and wildlife officials.
No institutional affiliation
Gorilla Facts is an independent publication. Mentioning or linking to a research institution, conservation organization, government body, zoo, company, product, or campaign does not imply affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, or approval unless explicitly stated.
External links
Links are provided for evidence, context, and convenience. We do not control external sites and are not responsible for their availability, security, accuracy, privacy practices, or later changes. A link is not an endorsement.
Advertising and commercial content
The site may display third-party advertising and may earn revenue from it. Advertisements are supplied by external networks and do not represent Gorilla Facts’ scientific or editorial judgment. Any sponsored or affiliate content should be clearly disclosed.
Images and media
Images may be illustrative and may not depict the exact species, subspecies, individual, location, or event discussed unless the caption says so. Synthetic or materially altered imagery should be labeled where its nature could affect interpretation.
Copyright and permitted use
Unless otherwise stated, original site text and design are protected by applicable copyright law. Third-party names, quotations, images, research, and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners. See our Copyright Notice for additional information.
Limitation of responsibility
To the extent permitted by law, Gorilla Facts is not responsible for loss or harm arising from reliance on site content, use of an external link, third-party advertising, or decisions made without appropriate professional guidance. Nothing in this disclaimer excludes rights or liability that cannot legally be excluded.
