100,000 Gorillas Discovered - 08/06/08 02:25 AM
Over 100,000 rare Gorillas have been found living in the Congo Jungle recently.
The area has just been declared a protected site.
The reason for this discovery apparently is that due to the wet swampy area of this large patch of jungle, man has not been able to easily gain access, due to the swamps.
There are more Gorillas living in peace here than have ever before been peviously discovered in the whole of Africa.
They have adapted to swim and walk the swamp area, as well as living in the trees, here they often make nests of leaves and branches to sleep on the ground.
They are wonderful family orientated and peaceful animals, lets hope we leave them alone.
