Friedrich Robert von Beringe (21 September 1865 - 5 July 1940) was a German army officer.[1] In October 1902 he shot two large apes in German East Africa that were unknown to science at the time. He sent them to the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin. The species was named Gorilla beringei and was later found to consist of two subspecies, the mountain gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) and the Eastern lowland gorilla (Gorilla beringei graueri).
