Mountain Gorilla
Mountain
gorillas are the largest of the primates. Large silverback males reach
standing heights of six feet, seven inches and can weigh as much as
five hundred pounds. Mountain gorillas live in the mountainous
rain forests of Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania. As big as they are,
mountain gorillas are peaceful vegetarians. Gorillas live in groups of
up to thirty and spend most of their time eating and playing. Because
of poaching and habitat destruction, mountain gorillas are an
endangered species on the brink of extinction. Only through the
concerted efforts of dedicated conservationists are these wonderful
primates hanging on.
