Gorilla?

  This is tagged as a chimp. Are we sure it isn't a gorilla?

  It's definitely a chimp -- one easy way to tell is that male chimps have quite obvious testicles, while you basically can't see those of a gorilla -- http://img1.photographersdirect.com/img/12366/wm/pd250440.jpg. This is a result of their very different living situations -- chimps live in large multi-male, multi-female communities, while gorilla males are usually (though not always) the only male in a group of females.
