Magnificent Mountain Gorillas


Mountain gorillas are amazing creatures. The problem is, that there are only about 700 left in the wild. Mountain gorillas can live up to 51 years. But the average age is 35 years. They are four to six feet tall. They can also weigh from around 300-485 lbs. According to National Geographic. These gorillas live in the green, volcanic slopes of Rwanda. You know, the same place that was fixing the coffee problem. The groups of gorillas, or troops, are lead by the Silver back. The Silver back is the adult male. You can tell that he’s the leader because of the patches of silver hair on his back. He’s the head of the group. Anyway, the gorillas are almost extinct because of war and poaching. Tell me what you think about this problem. You don’t want this little guy to go away?
