Three large silverback brothers Musilikale, Icumbi and Turakomeje. Here's a rare image of mountain gorillas in the coldest parts of their range, the alpine tundra.

This part of their range can have snowfall and freezing rain throughout the year, it's also quite foggy up there too. I've noticed that their fur look even thicker in these parts than they usually do in the forests, which you could probably tell by looking at these guys. So it shows how casually mountain gorillas can adapt to freezing conditions that's even colder than their usual forest home. Reply
