Mountain+Gorilla-Gordon+R

The Mountain gorillas is critically endangered and live in forests high in the mountains in Africa they eat roots, vines, bark, berries, fruit and bamboo shoots also snails, slugs and insects. Since the food that the gorilla eats has a lot of water contend in it, the gorilla doesn't drink water. Also the older gorillas are called silver backs because when they get older the hair on their back becomes silver.

The mountain gorilla has a slow rate of repercussion because a female will may have a baby every 3 to 4 years after their first one and this starts when the female is around the age of 10. The children of the mountain gorilla hang on to the long fur of the om so she can use both of her hands. The mountain gorilla doesn't have many predictors only the leopards, crocodile and humans. They also get hurt by pouches that set snares intended for different animals. They also get traded for there meat like other endangered animals in its area. There is another big threat of logging companies.  WWF teamed up with the much-loved Congolese musician Samba Mapangala and his Orchestra Virunga to work on a conservation tool. This is one way how the gorillas are being helped. They are also working with the governments to guard areas so the gorillas can have an area with no poaching or logging. What I can do to help is to adopt a gorilla to be safe and keep the population going so one day they aren't endangered.
