User:Kubana

Kubana is a three year old female mountain gorilla that lives in the Virunga Mountain national park and is being studied by the reserchers at the Karisoke Research centre. She is an very active young girl and is always willing to play with anything that comes her way. The mountain Gorillas of the park are the same gorillas that Dian Fossey once studied. In the book by Dian Fossey there is a young male Gorilla called Pablo who is very active and loves to play, but he also thinks that he owns the group. Now his dream has come true and he is the head silverback of what Dian Fossey called group 5, but it is now called Pablos group. When Dian Fossey was alive she was allowed to get extremely close to the Gorillas and was also allowed to observe them for hours on end. But now because of the fact that they share 98% of our DNA you can only observe them for one hour and you must be at least 25 feet away. This is because it is so easy for the gorillas to catch our diseases.
