Fine Art Print : Mountain gorilla male feeding
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Mountain gorilla male feeding
Mountain gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) male feeding. Mountain gorillas are found in cloud forests high on the slopes of the Virunga volcanoes between Rwanda, Uganda and Zaire. The high elevation and rainfall makes this habitat wet and cold. The adults eat many kilograms of vegetation daily (roots, leaves and stems) and can reach over 2 metres in height. A slow reproductive rate has left mountain gorillas vulnerable to habitat destruction, poaching and war, making them highly endangered. Photographed in Virunga National Park, Rwanda

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent male Mountain gorilla indulging in a hearty meal. Set against the backdrop of the lush cloud forests on the slopes of the Virunga volcanoes, this endangered species finds solace in its natural habitat. Towering at over 2 meters in height, these gentle giants spend their days consuming copious amounts of vegetation including roots, leaves, and stems. The high elevation and abundant rainfall create a wet and cold environment that is perfectly suited for these remarkable creatures. However, their slow reproductive rate has made them susceptible to various threats such as habitat destruction, poaching, and war. As a result, they are now classified as highly endangered. Photographed within the breathtaking Virunga National Park in Rwanda, this image captures not only the essence of nature's beauty but also serves as a poignant reminder of our responsibility to protect these incredible animals. The intricate details showcased by Science Photo Library highlight every leafy morsel being savored by this primate amidst its tropical surroundings. With each bite taken by this herbivorous great ape known as Gorilla beringei beringei or Mountain gorilla, we gain insight into their unique biology and animal behavior. This single snapshot encapsulates both the fragility and resilience found within Central Africa's rainforests while emphasizing the urgent need for conservation efforts to safeguard these majestic creatures from further harm.
