Gorilla nose print is unique like human fingerprints. each mountain gorilla has a distinct nose print, trackers and researchers use these prints to identify individuals. Nose prints stay the same throughout life. Gorillas use their faces to communicate, the area around the nose helps show emotions. The nose, eyes and mouth work together to show expressions. Magic nature.

These guys are from the Rushegura gorilla family, all together a group of 17 gorillas.

Habituated mountain gorillas are wild gorilla groups that have undergone a 2–5 year process of gradual, gentle introduction to human presence by rangers and researchers. This process, essential for conservation, enables research, health monitoring, and, once completed, safe eco-tourism, allowing visitors to view these primates in their natural habitat.

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park: The Heart of Gorilla Conservation

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, located in south-western Uganda on the edge of the Rift Valley, is one of Africa’s most ancient and biologically diverse rainforests. Dating back over 25,000 years, this mist-covered jungle is home to an incredible 400 plant species and provides refuge to some of the world’s rarest wildlife.
