West African gorillas on brink of extinction

According to the latest census, there are only about 720 West African gorillas remaining in the wild, and their numbers continue to decline. The main threats to their survival are poaching and habitat loss.

Gorillas are gentle animals that live in family groups led by a dominant silverback. They are herbivores, and their diet consists mainly of leaves, fruits, and nuts.

West African gorillas are native to Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Cote d'Ivoire. They are considered critically endangered due to the dramatic decline in their numbers over the past few decades.

The biggest threats to their survival are poaching and habitat loss. Poachers kill gorillas for their meat and body parts, which are sold on the black market. Habitat loss occurs when forests are cleared for agriculture or development, depriving gorillas of their natural home.

There is a growing awareness of the plight of West African gorillas, and efforts are being made to protect them. The Wildlife Conservation Society is working with local communities in Guinea to help them better understand and appreciate these endangered animals. Organizations like the Gorilla conservation society are also working to raise awareness about gorilla conservation and provide funding for projects to protect them .

It is important that we do everything we can to save West African gorillas from extinction. They are an important part of our global ecosystem, and they play a vital role in the health of our planet. We must act now before it's too late!

Baby gorilla makes debut at Dallas Zoo

Visitors to the Dallas Zoo got an extra special treat this week with the debut of a baby gorilla. The little one, whose gender is still unknown, was born on November 18th to momma Jumoke and dad Kijani.

Zoo staff report that the newborn is doing well and has been bonding with its family. In fact, Jumoke has been very protective of her offspring, keeping a close eye on it at all times.
