(Now Playing) Gorillas in the Midst - Episode 16 of 16

Oct 27, 2008

VBS travels to Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo where the mountain gorillas – 200 of the earth’s last 720 — are in a desperate fight for their survival.

Under pressure from rebel factions in Uganda and the DRC who massacred gorillas because the conservationists were “getting on their nerves,” our guide tracks the remaining apes – by armpit stench and dung – to keep tabs on their health.
