Nice image of a big male called Isabukuru, who died 2 years ago.

This shows just how interesting the mountain climate is, because you wouldn't expect to see a wild gorilla near coniferous trees like this, which are the kind of trees you'd normally associate with much more northern climates, not the tropics. The thick fog is also something you wouldn't see in lowland gorilla habitats. I just wanted to point out the difference between mountain gorilla and lowland gorilla habitats, and this image is one of the best examples of that. Reply
