There are 2 species - the Western and Eastern gorillas, and both species have silverback males. The larger of the two is the Eastern Gorilla. The maximum size of a male gorilla can be over 225 kg (500 lb) and 1.83 m (6 ft) in the wild, with much heavier weights recorded in captivity. (Although I can't find a decent reference to the recorded sizes either.)
