Well spotted, Gorillaphile. Sadly the attempt by the Gorilla Doctors to intervene last year was unsuccessful and the hand was lost. But it is important to note that this is the first such incident for 13 years among the habituated gorillas in PNKB. David Higgins discusses this with Gorilla Guide Juvenal in a video just uploading now.
