Episode 73: The Magnificent Mountain Gorilla, Part I Feb 12, 2019

Show notes

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.
