Although not usually the intended victims of traps, gorillas do get snared. A gorilla's tremendous strength enables it to break free from the trap site and escape, wearing the tight wire noose around its ankle or wrist.

check out how gorilla troops move from one place to the other when they are in danger, the dominant male takes the lead, the females and the young in the middle, the subordinate silverback on the rear as a watchdog.
Also, Dian Fossey and her group destroys the poacher's traps which they did not take lightly.

The gorillas are organised. The weakest of the troop (females and young) always stays in the middle.
Also well done Dian Fossey for helping the gorillas.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WITHOUT INTENTION I FOUND MYSELF FOLLOWING GORILLAS WHO WERE IN TURN BEING FOLLOWED BY BUFFALO. TWICE THE GORILLAS, EITHER IN VEXATION OR PERHAPS WITH A SENSE OF JOIE-DE-VIVRE, TURNED AND CHARGED DIRECTLY TOWARD THE BUFFALO, WHICH SPEEDILY TURNED TAIL AND RETREATED UNKNOWINGLY TOWARD ME.

Reply 238. You don't get to see an animal chase away a buffalo everyday. True. And that was very surprising to me. First time i read something like that. Gorillas chasing buffaloes.

Reply #243, both buffaloes and gorillas can fight pretty good, more than most people give them credit for.
Am glad you like gorillas GreenArtos. The gorilla is a historic animal.
The leyend of the gorilla continues.

Reply #261, very bad news brobear. That was a mountain gorilla, the ones Dian Fossey fought so hard to protect. These poachers, my god.
