Still, it's hard to here that one just simply disappears. I read that Pablo's Group is the largest group of Central African mountain gorillas ever studied by the Karisoke researchers. What a testimony to his leadership skills. Lisa Annie, that is so sad about Pablo. 34 years is a long time to live for a mountain gorilla. Still, it’s hard to here that one just simply disappears.
