Mountain Gorillas
«'… a polished compendium that pays tribute to years of dedicated behavioural, ecological and conservation research in the face of tremendous adversity.' Kathryn Jeffery, Biologist»
For the past three decades the mountain gorillas of Karisoke Research Center have been the subject of many studies focusing on their behaviour and ecology. Long-term observations on known individuals, from birth to death, and data on social behaviour within and between groups have led to an understanding of many aspects of gorilla social structure.
