| Mountain Gorilla Skull. Mountain gorillas, Gorilla beringei, occur in isolated populations in the Virunga volcano range on the Rwanda, Zaire and Uganda border. The mountain gorilla is more endangered than its lowland relative with current wild populations numbering less than 450 individuals. Although extensive efforts have been made to protect these gorillas, poaching, habitat destruction and war continue to push the mountain gorillas toward extinction. |
