Orphan Gorillas Sing While Eating Banana Trees

Mountain and Grauer’s gorillas orphaned by poached make happy “singing“ sounds while eating a favorite food: banana tree stalks. The orphans are being cared for by the Gorilla Doctors in Kinigi, Rwanda. The Gorilla Doctors are dedicated to saving the lives of critically-endangered mountain and Grauer’s gorillas through health care. Our international team of veterinarians is the only group providing these animals with direct, hands-on care in the wild.
