The gorilla berengei 🦍

in #hive-1745782 years ago

Hello my hive friends, hope are you all keeping well.
Today I bring you these gorilla photos I took while in Mgahinga national park, one of the smallest parks in Uganda where the mountain gorillas live. There is only one gorilla group called Nyakagezi with fifteen members. I was unlucky to meet the whole crew but these are the few I met physically.

There is a feeling that pops in you once these giant bypasses closer to you. They are almost like humans sharing 98% DNA. They are vegetarians but sometimes can feed on some ants. The silverback is the head of the family like a man does in humans. The gorillas tend to be same in the group but can easily be identified on their nose prints, behaviors, or other physical appearances and then named.

Mountain gorillas are so human friendly and can only get mad once you don't follow their signals or information given before the visit at the briefing point.
The baby gorilla will loudly vocalise when uncomfortable or angry, this is a different case to humans where a baby cries up.

Thank you for stopping by and will always appreciate your tips on my wildlife photography through the comments. Let's keep hive on !
