Gorilla orphan drinking 3-4 liters per day and weighs 2.6 kilos

Published by admin at 12:32 pm under Kabirizi Family, Mountain Gorillas, Rangers

The orphaned Ndakasi continues to be monitored by the vets of the Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project. Ndakasi today weighs 2.6 kilos and drinks between 3 and 4 liters of milk a day.

The gorilla monitoring team is still trying to count the Kabirizi family. Up until today we have still not been able to identify all individuals; some of them hide when we come and so we just don’t know. The team has just been relieved by another team, and it is not until this work is done that we will be able to reach a conclusion. Paulin
