Silverback Gorilla Rwanda

Silverback Mountain Gorilla in Rwanda - about a third of the worlds total mountain gorillas population live in Rwanda.

Silverbacks are the strong, dominant troop leaders. Each typically leads a troop (group size ranges from 5 to 30) and is in the center of the troop's attention, making all the decisions, mediating conflicts, determining the movements of the group, leading the others to feeding sites and taking responsibility for the safety and well-being of the troop. Younger males called blackbacks may serve as backup protection. Learn more at http://www.kwitizina.org/
