On October 8, 2011, national park rangers from Virunga National Park confiscated a baby Grauer's gorilla from three poachers through a sting operation. The baby had been taken from the wild and most likely saw his family die trying to protect him. He was named Shamavu, after the ranger who rescued him. After arriving at the Senkwekwe sanctuary, the Gorilla Doctors of the Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project arrived to perform a health exam. The Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project is a nonprofit dedicated to preserving the gorillas through life-saving medical care. www.gorilladoctors.org

  • Use 15 second counts when taking a pulse, its much easier math!

  • Goddamn poachers have to be shot on sight......on sight. The park rangers should be licensed to kill them. Pick them off. These animals must be better protected. Go after the ''buyers'' and prosecute w/ prison time. LONG TERM prison time.

  • 26*6 is 156.

  • These are beautiful animals, kinda reminds me of US!

  • He's so beautiful. I hope he's doing alright.
