Did you know?
Mountain gorillas are the largest living primates, native to the misty highlands of Central Africa where they inhabit dense forests at elevations above 8,000 feet. These gentle giants are highly intelligent, social animals that live in stable family groups led by a dominant silverback male—named for the silvery-gray hair that develops on their backs and sides as they mature. Despite their formidable strength and size, mountain gorillas are primarily herbivorous and known for their peaceful temperament within their communities. Once hunted to the brink of extinction, conservation efforts have allowed their populations to slowly recover, making them symbols of hope in wildlife preservation.
