Om avsnittet
When you look at the face of a Mountain Gorilla, you are looking back at our own reflection. Gorilla DNA matches 98.4% of humans, and only the Chimpanzee is a tad closer (we share 98.8% DNA). One of our closest relatives, Mountain Gorillas were almost on the brink of extinction, but are now slowly recovering with a focused conservation plan and with the help of ecotourism. We are dividing this episode into two parts so we can dive deeper into the data of the Mountain Gorilla. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
