Hi this is Tuver,
I have some exciting news. Our rangers at Kahuzi Beiga National Park have reported that twin baby gorillas were born a few weeks ago! The twins have been born in to the Chimanuka group and are the fourth pair of twins born in to this family.
There are fewer than 5,000 eastern lowland gorillas remaining in the wild and Kahuzi Biega National Park, on the eastern edge of DRC, is home to one of the largest populations. The birth of the twins brings the number of gorillas in Chiminuka’s family to a grand total of 30, which is wonderful!
At the moment I don’t have any photos of the newborn twins but as soon as I do I will post them on the blog. In the mean time here is a photo of the magnificent Chiminuka – the proud father!

My name is Alice and I am 11 years old. I have a twin sister called Eleanor, so I know what it is like to be a twin. I am so pleased to hear the news and I am going to London to the Hope4Apes talk and I hope there will be more news then. I would love to see a picture of them. Thanks Tuver.
