Posted @withregram • @bbcnews These are some of the world’s rarest gorillas, and they haven't been seen in years. 🦍 But new photos have been released showing a group of Cross River gorillas in the mountains of southern Nigeria. Only 300 are known to live in the wild, making them the most endangered sub-species. The species was once presumed extinct in Nigeria and only “rediscovered” in the late 1980s. But these new snaps of infant gorillas are raising hopes that the animals, which are at risk of extinction, are actually reproducing. The Wildlife Conservation Society said the pictures were captured by camera traps in the Mbe mountains and are working closely with a community organisation to protect the primates.
