What is the scientific domain for a gorilla?

A gorilla belongs to the Animalia kingdom, specifically the Chordata phylum. Within Chordata, gorillas are part of the Mammalia class, the Primates order, the Hominidae family, the Gorilla genus, and finally, the Gorilla gorilla species.

Here's a breakdown:

* Kingdom: Animalia (all animals)

* Phylum: Chordata (animals with a backbone)

* Class: Mammalia (animals with fur/hair, mammary glands, and give live birth)

* Order: Primates (mammals with grasping hands and feet, five fingers and toes, and relatively large brains)

* Family: Hominidae (great apes - gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos, orangutans, and humans)

* Genus: Gorilla (includes two species: Western gorilla and Eastern gorilla)

* Species: Gorilla gorilla (specifically referring to the species of gorilla in question)

So, the scientific domain of a gorilla is Animalia (kingdom), but its classification goes much deeper.
