In Africa's oldest national park, a pair of rare mountain gorillas was born

Virunga is the oldest national park located in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where recently there was joyful news: a mountain gorilla gave birth to twins. This was reported by BBC News.

This event is significant for zoology, as the mountain gorillas residing in Virunga are among the rarest primates on the planet and are endangered.
Rangers monitoring the condition of the mountain gorillas and their habitat witnessed this amazing event. They observed a 22-year-old gorilla named Mafuko embracing her newborn infants (both are males). Initial checks showed that the whole family is doing well.

An interesting fact is that the probability of twin births in mountain gorillas is only one percent.
