Mafuko, a mountain gorilla, holds her newborn twin sons at the Virunga national park, Democratic Republic of #Congo. The rare birth in war-ravaged eastern Congo has been described as “a major event” for the endangered subspecies. Much of the park is under rebel control and fighting has accelerated forest loss.

Welcome to this troubled planet, my little ones!
Hope you will learn how to survive from the destruction of another ape, the most arrogant one.

Congo, Virunga : Parc National des Virunga (Democratic Republic of Congo).
The Mountain Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla beringei) has longer and darker hair than other gorilla species, enabling it to live at high altitudes and travel into areas where temperatures drop below freezing #africa #democraticrepublicofcongo #virunganationalpark #gorilla #travel #mammals #primates #mountaingorilla

Горные гориллы в Уганде.
Помимо стандартного треккинга к гориллам, когда с ними можно провести час, если ещё "habituation" - когда ведут к семье, которая в процессе привыкания к людям. Зато можно провести с ними 4 часа.

Было довольно темно, так что фотографии темные и смазанные

Currently reading this book, and it evoked some memories of my own treks in the Virunga mountains of Rwanda and Uganda, and the resulting encounters with these incredible creatures - only 1000 left in the world, but luckily and thanks to people like Dian Fossey, that’s 5 times more than 50 years ago. #mountaingorilla #gorilla #rwanda #uganda #photography #wildlifephotography #omsystem #travel #animalphotography

La muerte del gorila Ndakasi
En esta potente imagen obtenida por el fotógrafo Brent Stirton, muestra los últimos minutos de un gorila de montaña llamado Ndakasi junto a su cuidador el guardabosques Andre Bauma. Ndakasi fue rescatado con dos meses de edad, después de que toda su familia fuera brutalmente asesinada por cazadores furtivos. Durante 13 años este fascinante animal entabló con Andre una relación muy cercana.
