The envy of many men, mountain gorilla groups consist of one polygamous male, a few females and their offspring. They live in the mountainous forests of central Africa, and the majority can be found in Uganda's Bwindi National Park.

Poachers are a great threat, killing a number each year while trying to capture the young ones. But these criminals don't seem to be deterred by the fact that no gorilla has ever survived in captivity. There are about 600 specimens left on earth.
