Numbering about 300, the Cross River Gorilla is listed as critically endangered. It is the most endangered of all gorilla species. The Cross River Gorilla suffers greatly from fragmentation in addition to hunting and poaching. They have a complex, small living area in which the majority of the species is confined does not assist them in anyway. The small area makes it harder for them to remain on their quickly decreasing land.

Cross River Gorillas, as well as other gorilla species, tend to live in groups of four to seven. Same groups are larger; for example, one study group contains 18 individuals.
These gorillas react interestingly to humans and may even be inclined to throw dirt and leaves at them. Sadly, this chimpanzee-like behavior is not helping them.
