Twin mountain gorilla babies rolling and playing in the rain forest of Rwanda are the subject of a short video segment captured by a San Diego Zoo Global scientist during a recent visit. San Diego Zoo Global is sending the video out as a cute reminder of the appeal of this endangered species and the importance of conserving gorillas and other species for future generations. The video was taken by Oliver Ryder, Ph.D. at Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda earlier this year. The gorillas are part of the Hirwa group, one of ten groups that are being monitored and protected by Park staff. Dr. Ryder was in Rwanda meeting with local officials to discuss the establishment of future projects in the area that would benefit this and other species. http://www.sandiegozooglobal.org/ The San Diego Zoo Global Wildlife Conservancy is dedicated to bringing endangered species back from the brink of extinction.
