Ndakasi and Kabila look wonderful but they still seem so fragile. I'd love to see them in a safer environment. Thank you so much for all the info and beautiful photos.

I hope the yogurt works for the babies. They look great despite their gut problems. They are such beautiful little creatures. Thank you for giving them a fighting chance. The Grauer's gorilla is very beautiful and it's such a shame that their numbers are so small. I hope they can be restored somehow. Lisa Dr. Spelman, Thank you for a wonderful, informative post.

I often feel the same way, especially after reading blog post after blog post about poaching, charcoal burning, rampant deforestation, bamboo flowering, etc. But, as we can all read Dr. Lucy's reports, the babies would be better off in a natural, wild environment than living in a backyard in a busy town near a war zone. I think moving them to Rwanda will be the best thing for them, but I hope someday they can return to DRC and find their families. Thanks for the information on the Grauer's gorillas. Please keep us posted about them and their families, and thank you so much for the update and photos about Ndakasi/Kabila and Nedeze. They've grown! s.
