Q: Is this gorilla really life-size?
At H107cm in its semi-crouched posture, it faithfully reproduces the proportions of an adult plains gorilla. When standing fully, an adult male gorilla measures between 1m and 1.7m — in its natural resting posture standing on its fists, the proportions of this sculpture are perfectly true to reality. This is indeed confirmed by the official tagline: "Life-size resin gorilla sculpture."
Q: Can this sculpture stay in an outdoor garden all year round?
Yes without restriction — balcony & terrace and outdoor garden. The polyresin is tested down to -20 °C and the UV treatment protects the black of the fur and the gray tones of the skin. With 22.5kg and a footprint of 90x73cm, it is by far the most stable sculpture in the catalog — no wind, no frost will move it.
Q: Is a grounding or special installation required?
No — its weight (22.5kg) and its large footprint (90x73cm) ensure total stability without anchoring on any firm horizontal surface. The only precaution is to provide a solid surface to support its weight and to have two people to move and install it.
Q: Is this sculpture suitable for a professional space?
It is even one of its most relevant uses. Its life-size, anatomical precision, total weather resistance, and guaranteed visual impact make it an exceptional piece of professional decoration — zoo, park, restaurant, hotel, event space. A life-sized gorilla does not leave anyone indifferent.
Q: Is the gorilla an endangered species — is it significant?
Yes — the western gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) is classified as "critically endangered" on the IUCN Red List. It is one of the most threatened great apes on the planet, with a wild population estimated at less than 100,000 individuals. Its presence in a decorative collection reminds us of the beauty and fragility of this extraordinary animal and can raise visitors' awareness of the importance of its protection.
