What's the difference between chimpanzee and gorilla?
Chimpanzee

(19) Antibody to ovine LH beta (oLH beta) subunit and equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) were produced in adult male chimpanzees and evaluated for cross reactivity with oLH, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and eCG by in vitro and in vivo methods.
(20) Because of the relative availability of chimpanzees for laboratory studies, we suggest that chimpanzees may be the optimal nonhuman primate model for determining the advisability of vaccinations in man using conjugates of HCG fragments to achieve fertility control or for suppression of HCG-producing neoplasms.
Gorilla
Definition:
(n.) A large, arboreal, anthropoid ape of West Africa. It is larger than a man, and is remarkable for its massive skeleton and powerful muscles, which give it enormous strength. In some respects its anatomy, more than that of any other ape, except the chimpanzee, resembles that of man.
Example Sentences:
(1) The remaining four positive gorilla sera reacted as HSV-2-positive sera.
(2) We determined four nucleotide sequences of the hominoid immunoglobulin alpha (C alpha) genes (chimpanzee C alpha 2, gorilla C alpha 2, and gibbon C alpha 1 and C alpha 2 genes), which made possible the examination of gene conversions in all hominoid C alpha genes.

(8) Two witnesses said they thought the gorilla was trying to protect the boy at first, before getting spooked by the screams of onlookers.
(9) It is to be hoped that the inquiry into how the escape happened will extend to a behavioural study to determine why Kumbuka appears to be so stressed.” Is Kumbuku particularly aggressive or agitated –or is his behaviour just part of being an adult gorilla?
(10) To understand the phylogenetic relationships between hominoids, the nucleotide sequences of immunoglobulin-epsilon processed pseudogenes from chimpanzee, gorilla and orangutan were determined.
(11) Relative to human, no translocations were detected in great apes, except for the well-known fusion-origin of human chromosome 2 and a 5;17 translocation in the gorilla.
