I didn't know so I googled it, you're wrong. The species is Mountain Gorilla. Silverbacks are mature male troop leaders:
https://virunga.org/wildlife/primates/mountain-gorillas/silverback-gorilla/
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorilla
The Wikipedia article makes exactly one reference to silverbacks, again referring to the leader of the troop. Do the world a favor, check yourself before you talk shit.
I reject your reality and choose to believe that weird guy's.
So a silverback is a specific species of mountain gorilla that has a distinctive silver hair on its back after a certain age.
Almost like I said silverback is a species
Bald men are my favorite species. It gets me moist knowing that they can’t get me pregnant.
Lol, now say "rooster is a species". Fuckin dork
~~Redditor~~ Lemmy user admitting they might be wrong challenge (impossible)
Nah I'll admit it
I looked it up at first and the phrasings I kept seeing was "species of mountain gorilla" so I assumed that meant it was a specific species. Woke up to the downvotes so I looked a little deeper and found out I was wrong.
Personally I blame Google for not being able to answer concise questions like "is a silverback gorilla a species" but it is what it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
