Answer 1

Describe the reunion between fossey and female gorillas after three years. What was she most thrilled about?

>Answer<

is ioerul to learn that there are more Grauer’s gorillas than we previously thought. Unfortunately, this new number doesn’t reflect an actual increase in the population of these gorillas, which are considered critically endangered due to a precipitous drop in numbers over the past two decades,” says

• Dr. Tara Stoinski, CEO and chief scientific officer of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, which was not involved in the study. “Rather, this new number reflects new and expanded survey data that were used to estimated Grauer’s populations.”

• The authors emphasize that despite the revised numbers, Grauer’s gorillas have experienced a dramatic decline in population size over the past few decades, particularly in the Kahuzi-Biega National Park in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.

>Age information<

They estimate that the population has declined by roughly 60% in a single gorilla generation, which is about 20 years.

The study also found that gorillas living on community-protected land are faring better than those in the national parks, underscoring the need for forest protection and management.

Answer 2

Gestation

The gorilla's gestation period is about 8.5 months.

It is difficult to tell if a female gorilla is pregnant since her stomach is large to begin with (for food digestion). However, some females have swollen knuckles temporarily during pregnancy.

Birth Seasons

Young are born throughout the year and usually at night.

Frequency of Birth

Females usually give birth around every 4 years.

Usually a single infant is born with twins being rare.

There is a 40% mortality rate for newborns which means that an adult female usually only has 1 surviving offspring produced every 6 to 8 years. Therefore many females will only have 2 to 6 offspring in a lifetime.

Infants at Birth

Newborns usually weigh about 2 kg (4.5 lbs.) with pale gray-pink skin that is sparsely covered with hair.

Infants are able to cling to their mothers with a very powerful grip from both their hands and feet. The female will initially assist the infant when it is holding on to her chest or stomach.

Young gorillas like to play with their siblings or other youngsters their age. They wrestle, tumble, climb trees, and even form a chain and walk in synchronization through the forest.

Care of Young

Infants are in almost constant contact with their mothers for the first 6 months and nurse for about 2.5 to 3 years.

Although the silverback is the troop's guardian and can be the most aggressive troop member it can also be patient and gentle with the young. A silverback has even been documented sharing his nest with an orphaned infant.
