Ugandan Gorillas in Bwindi park have ‘baby boom’

Five baby gorillas have been born in six weeks in Bwindi National Park, leading the Ugandan Wildlife Service (UWS) to declare a baby boom.
Announcing the latest birth, the UWS said: “The Rushegura gorilla family welcomes another bouncing cute baby gorilla”.
Seven babies have been born since January compared to three for the whole of 2019, according to the UWS.
Mountain gorillas are endangered with just over 1,000 in existence.

In March, most of Uganda’s tourism sector was shut down and the industry is slowly opening up but primates are of particular concern as they share so much of our DNA.
