The western lowland gorilla (gorilla gorilla gorilla), gorilla b. The western lowland gorilla (gorilla gorilla gorilla), gorilla c. This observation of the behaviours of the western lowland gorilla (gorilla gorilla gorilla) used two methods have been used: scan sampling and focal-animal sampling.

Scan sampling has the advantage of allowing the observer to view all groups of animals in a wide range of behaviour patterns.
