Gorillas… 98.6% Human

On a trip to Rwanda, explore had the opportunity to visit four families of wild mountain gorillas, a species with only 720 remaining members. Their guide is Craig Sholley, who has been intimately involved in the preservation of African wildlife for more than 30 years. The team’s thrilling interaction with these peaceful creatures – who share 98.6% of their genetic makeup with humans – is a startling reminder of their own humanity. Distributed by Tubemogul.
