14 DAY TRIAL // Just recently, the people working with the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund witnessed an amazing event, and even succeeded in taking some pictures.
We are talking about how two mountain gorillas in Rwanda worked together and succeeded in dismantling a trap set out by poachers in order to capture representatives of this species.
Known by the environmentalists here as Dukore and Rwema, the two mountain gorillas pulled the branch that was intended to hold the trap's rope, thus rendering the poachers' efforts to catch them or others of their kind futile.
What is even more interesting is that the two gorillas who embarked on this anti-poaching mission were mere juveniles, so it cannot be argued that they had the advantages of age and experience.
As an endangered species, mountain gorillas are under the law's protection, and it is estimated that only 790 are still to be found in the wild.
