These endangered mountain gorillas live in the wild, but they're not aggressive at all -- there's never been an incident with tourists. There are 7 gorilla families of 10 to 15 each living in the national park. Every night, trackers note where the gorillas make their nest, and the following morning a group of 8 tourists hike through the jungle to spend one hour with them. It's an amazing experience being so close to these animals and seeing how they live.
