About This Camera

The Houston Zoo's gorilla habitat is part of the African Forest, designed by primatologists to encourage natural behavior. The cam often captures playful juveniles or contemplative silverbacks.

Mountain Gorilla

Gorilla beringei beringei

A subspecies of eastern gorilla found in only two populations: the Virunga Mountains spanning Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda. Once predicted to be extinct by the turn of the century, mountain gorillas have rebounded to over 1,000 individuals.
