Summary

Description
English: Cross River Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla diehli). Listed as one of the most endangered primates on the planet, with approximately only 300 left in the wild and just one in captivity. Wild Cross River gorillas are found only at the cross river border of Nigeria and Cameroon. This beautiful lady's name is Nyango, and she resides at Limbe Wildlife Centre, Limbe, Cameroon. Her right eye was damaged while young [probably during her capture by hunters]. I built a special relationship with this very unique lady during my visit to Limbe, but unfortunately, my camera was playing up for the whole visit, and sadly, this is the best shot I got of her. I hope to return one day, with a fully working camera, just to get another image of this fantastic creature. She is a rare gem indeed.
