“…In addition, we compare the same parameters with age‐matched samples of wild Virunga Gorilla beringei beringei (Eastern mountain gorillas). Adult G. b. beringei are more terrestrial than adult G. g. gorilla (Doran, , ; Doran‐Sheehy, Andrianady, & Lodwick, ; Knigge, Tocheri, Orr, & Mcnulty, ; Masi, ; Remis, , , ; Ruff et al, , ; Schaller, ). Because opportunities for natural behavior in captive environments are generally more limited and can reflect substrate complexities (Ross, Schapiro, Hau, & Lukas, ; Ross et al, ), we predict that where adult wild G. g. gorilla and G. b. beringei differ in morphology, captive adult G. g. gorilla will more closely resemble the more terrestrial G. b. beringei .…”
