A
gorilla is the largest living primate. Half of the world's
population of Mountain Gorillas are found in Uganda.
A gorilla is a ground dwelling omnivore animal and largely
dwells in the forest. An example of such forest is the Bwindi
Impenetrable Forest in Uganda.
There are 3 classifications of Gorilla. That is the Western
Lowland Gorilla, the Eastern Lowland and the Mountain Gorilla.
All these gorillas are endangered due to poaching, habitat
destruction and trade in bush meat.
Gorillas move in groups led by the male gorilla, the Silverback.
Silver back is about 12 years of age or more with silver hair on
his back. Its responsible for the entire movement of the troop,
decision making and safety.
The two homes of mountain gorillas are Bwindi National park and
Mgahinga National Park in Uganda.
In
Rwanda, Gorilla tracking is done in Parc de Volcans.
The Mountain Gorillas in Bwindi largely feed on fruits, foliage
and epiphytes. the Bwindi gorilla diet is almost the same as
that of the Bwindi Chimpanzees.
Gorilla tracking or trekking is the top safari activity of
tourists who flock to Uganda.
