Where do gorillas sleep? In nests! Gorillas build two different nests during the day - one for day time use and one for night time use. Here we can see Ubwuzu making his nest out of bamboo branches. How cool! #nature #conservation #mountaingorillas 📸: James Munyawera | Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund

How do our researchers gather information about a gorilla’s health, lineage, etc.? Well one of the best ways is through poop samples. 💩 😲That’s right, our teams collect gorilla poop and use the information that it provides to learn the paternity of an infant, if a gorilla has elevated stress hormones, if they are healthy and what they are eating. It also helps us understand exactly how many gorillas there are left in the world! 🤯Gorilla poop is a wealth of knowledge! Check out Research Manage

Eating poop isn’t that gross, that is if you’re a gorilla. It’s a behavior called “coprophagy” which primates sometimes engage in to re-ingest things like fruit seeds to get the max nutritional value. Gotta work to grow up as big and strong as a gorilla. | explore.org

Poaching has brought gorillas to the brink of extinction but the Gorilla Rehabilitation and Conservation Education Center is giving them hope.
