The caretaker of Virunga National Park in Congo André and his ward, the young gorilla Ndazi, are real friends! Gorilla and Andre spend a lot of time together, a giant monkey hugs the caretaker and even rides on the coasters. Look at the charming pictures that bear witness to this tender friendship!
Andre is the caretaker of the Virunga National Park in Congo. The young gorilla Ndazi is his ward. This couple is associated with the most tender friendship: they embrace, play together, and Andre even rolls the gorilla on the coasters!
Gorilla weighs a lot, but Andre is ready to suffer to please his friend!
As a park keeper, André is obliged to take care of Ndazi, but friendship is more than official duties, you can not buy it for any money!
Andre and Ndazi completely trust each other. Andre is not at all afraid that a powerful monkey, after playing, will injure him.
Mountain gorillas are a species that is under threat of destruction. According to the data of the World Wildlife Fund, there are only 880 individuals in the world, although in recent years, thanks to the support of a man, their numbers are gradually growing. More than half of them live in the mountains of Virunga, a large group of extinct volcanoes on the border of Congo, Rwanda and Uganda. A month ago, information appeared that the Government of Congo was going to review the borders of the Virunga National Park, which has the status of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Apparently, this is due to the interests of oil companies, who dream of exploring this territory for a long time, torn apart by long years of civil war and suffering from numerous poachers.
