Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Mountain gorilla male yawning
Mountain gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) male yawning. 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 captures a majestic Mountain gorilla male in the midst of a mighty yawn. The sheer power and presence of this endangered species is evident as it showcases its impressive set of teeth, revealing both strength and vulnerability. Found in the cloud forests high on the slopes of the Virunga volcanoes between Rwanda, Uganda, and Zaire, these magnificent creatures endure harsh conditions due to their habitat's high elevation and rainfall. Standing over 2 meters tall, these gentle giants consume kilograms of vegetation daily, consisting of roots, leaves, and stems. However, their slow reproductive rate has made them susceptible to habitat destruction caused by human activities such as poaching and war. Photographed within the breathtaking Virunga National Park in Rwanda, this image serves as a reminder of the urgent need for conservation efforts to protect these incredible animals. With their leafy surroundings providing an enchanting backdrop for this solitary individual with its wide-open mouth yawning against a lush green forest setting. The mountain gorillas' existence is not only crucial for preserving biodiversity but also highlights our responsibility to safeguard fragile ecosystems across Central Africa. As we admire this remarkable photograph captured by Science Photo Library without any commercial intent or mention thereof let us be inspired to take action towards ensuring that future generations can continue to witness such awe-inspiring moments in nature's grand tapestry.
