The distinctive saddle shaped areas of silver fur found on male gorillas show they’ve reached maturity. These highly intelligent, gentle primates prefer to live peaceful lives and avoid conflict. They express intense emotions such as grief, and are capable of empathy, imagination and laughter. Yet these remarkable creatures are in rapid decline as the result of commercial hunting and outbreaks of the Ebola virus, and are listed by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as 'Critically Endangered'.
