The Lulengo and Rugendo mountain gorilla families in Virunga National Park were recently visited by Drs. Eddy and Martin for health assessments. 

In Rugendo group, silverbacks Bukima and Baseka both had minor wounds (likely from an earlier interaction) but were not in need of medical intervention.
