A 700lb or 900lb gorilla would be equally entitled to sleep wherever he wants to. Interestingly, the Wikipedia entry for Gorilla states that the average male gorilla weighs about 400lb, occasionally reaching 500lb in the wild. Only obese gorillas in captivity have attained weights of 600lb. So the number doesn't even seem to be related to gorilla biology (except that it is safely larger than any known gorilla, save King Kong).
They can be divided into two species: the Western Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) and the Eastern Gorilla (Gorilla beringei), and both include two subspecies. Physically gorillas are the largest amongst the great apes, with adult males reaching a height of 160-180 cm and a weight of 140-230 kg.
