Gorilla faces extinction

The gentle, intelligent animal Gorilla is facing extinction.


As per one estimate only about 600 mountain gorillas and about 40,000 lowlands gorillas survive today.

Gorillas are the world's largest primate and for years they've been portrayed as fearsome and aggressive beasts. But gorillas are actually gentle giants that have strong family ties and live on a vegetarian diet.

The eastern gorilla has three subspecies: the mountain gorilla, the Bwindi gorilla and the eastern lowland gorilla.

Destruction of rainforests, the killer virus and illegal hunting of Gorilla have made Gorilla the endangered species.

We must save Gorilla from extinction
