Mountain Gorilla Hirwa Silverback
Species: Mountain Gorilla / Gorilla beringei beringei | Location: Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda
Rwanda's Virunga Mastiff and the Hirwa Group. The group derived its name from its formation process that was out of luck between the Sabyinyo and Agashya groups. Hirwa means ‘the Lucky one’ and the group inhabits the foothills of Mt. Sabyinyo to the side of Mt Gahinga. The group had come down out of the forest for a "snack" of bark of a small grove of Eucalyptus trees.
