Meet Shamavu, the baby gorilla rescued from poachers - in pictures

It's good news that this Baby was saved, you only have to look at the eyes in the photos to see the stress there, but it's devastating that so much killing, and stealing of these creatures is still going on after all the efforts to save the Mountain Gorillas over the years

tragic - poor little thing.

So pleased he has been saved but what an awful experience for him and his family. it is just so sad they are taken away from their families and those families more than likely loosing their lives. These are such special animals and one I have a real soft spot for. It must be such a hard job for rangers to deal with the trafficing of Gorillas and a dangerous job as well I imagine. My respect goes to the rangers and my heart goes out to the Gorillas.
