One
of the dominant Silverback Gorilla named Cantsbee of the Pablo group in Rwanda
turned 34 years yesterday. He is one of the last living mountain Gorillas named
by Dian Fossey and presides over the largest group of mountain gorillas that
the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International monitors.
Cantsbee of Pablo Group in Rwanda |
At
the age of 34 years, Cantsbee is still very strong and out competing his son
Gicurasi who is the second ranking silverback in Pablo group for dominance. The fund hopes that since Cantsbee is still
very strong, he pushes the record of the oldest mountain gorillas it monitors
since the oldest male gorilla monitored by the fund died at the age of 35 and
these were Pablo and Titus.
