Go-Rill-A

Gorillas one of humans close relatives, they have been in countless movies, and one is about how they take over earth, that has nothing to do with this other than the fact that this rare, camera shy species has finally been caught on tape. This gorilla is highly endangered and is the rarest of four species of gorilla, this species is known as the Cross river gorilla. The reserve in which it lives is very small and only contains 16 of this species, the species is threatened by several things but the most common threats are poachers. These are very observant gorillas and are very cautious about humans getting within any certain distance, which is why it is so hard to capture a picture or video of these apes. Where the video was caught were dangerous mountains in which the camera-man or woman could have been killed, this is also a very long process tracking them down and being unnoticed enough to capture them without letting them know your their.
Impact: If these gorillas are poached out and go extinct that could ruin full ecosystems and could be a waste of an amazing creation of Gods.
Critique: I think that getting this gorilla on tape is exciting for them and that these animals are getting poached is cruel and just not right in any way no matter how you put it.
