Gorillas In The Mix

A young girl's adventure in the land of the mountain gorilla provides a look at the playfulness of a three year old gorilla when girl and gorilla are separated from their own group. Parents of both frantically search for their children as the two shyly get to know each other. Who will find them first? It is mostly through film and books that any of us get to see mountain gorillas. They are not found in our zoos and live only in that one part of Africa, the Virunga Mountains. So those who want to see these gentle giants in their natural habitat have to venture to the gorillas' home territory. And they have to know the rules for entering the gorilla's world just as Shelby and Susan did. Silverbacks are very protective of their families.
