I'm not sure if anyone's ever tried to shave a gorilla, much less survived to take an 'after' photograph.

Maybe there's a documented case of a gorilla with mange or another condition that makes the hair fall out, or some English aristocrat decided to ruin a perfectly good gorilla pelt before sending it off to the taxidermist?

The majority of the skin on gorillas is white or even a grey pinkish tone because it's under their fur

I had no idea

Apparently if it's exposed to sun it turns black though
