Sorry for the error on the Tshiaberimu gorillas, the correction has been made in the blog post. The correct number of deaths of mountain gorillas to disease is 7 as reported by Lucy Spelman. Twins, Shinda a silverback at Karisoke, Umurava of pneumonia and Umugisha of cancer in the Pablo group, an infant was killed by other gorillas in the Amohoro group, and Pablo is missing and presumed dead.

Please note for the record that the legal process regarding the July 2007 mountain gorilla massacre (in which 5 gorillas were killed and 1 is missing presumed dead) in Congo is ongoing and no individuals have yet been found guilty. In addition, the gorillas at Mount Tshiaberimu are not considered mountain gorillas. Thank you. Samantha
