  • Mountain Gorillas (Gorilla Beringei) also known as Silverback (adult male mountain gorillas are called Silverbacks because of the silver saddle of hair on their backs) live in forests high in the mountains. They live in groups and each gorilla family has a silverback as leader who scares away other animals. Gorillas are herbivores, and eat only plants. They spend most of their day foraging for food.<br />
Since the discovery of the mountain gorilla subspecies in 1902, its population has endured years of war, hunting, habitat destruction and disease. With conservation efforts, the population is increasing but the specie is still classified endangered on the IUCN red list.

  • The hippopotamus is semiaquatic mammal, inhabiting rivers, lakes and mangrove swamps, where territorial bulls preside over a stretch of river and groups of five to 30 females and young. During the day, they remain cool by staying in the water or mud; reproduction and childbirth both occur in water. They emerge at dusk to graze on grasses. While hippopotamuses rest near each other in the water, grazing is a solitary activity and hippos are not territorial on land.

  • There are few moments that have truly overwhelmed me and I take pride in being able to keep my emotions in check while working, but as soon as the light disappeared and it was time to let this Temminck’s Pangolin go on with its evening, I started to cry. I was so overcome with gratitude and wonder at the opportunity to see such a beautifully unique animal, one I never thought I’d have the chance to see, given its status as the most trafficked mammal on the black market, meaning all 8 species of Pangolin throughout Africa and Asia are in danger of extinction. To witness one of these gentle, docile creatures as it searches for ants and termites to eat, left me in complete awe as well as disbelief that people could be so cruel to these helpless animals.
