Mountain Gorilla In Viral Selfie With Rangers Dies Aged 14 In Congo(Pics) by Explorers(m): 7:50pm On Oct 08, 2021 |
A mountain gorilla who became a worldwide sensation after posing in a selfie with a park ranger has died in the arms of her 'lifelong friend' who rescued her as an infant. Ndakasi, who died aged 14, was saved by Virunga rangers when she was just two-months-old after they found her clinging to the lifeless body of her mother who had been gunned down by armed militia hours earlier. She was later transferred to the park's Senkwekwe Center with a fellow orphaned gorilla Ndeze where the pair rose to internet fame when they appeared in a selfie with park ranger Mathieu Shamavu in 2019. But after more than a decade of care at the Senkwekwe Centre, the 'beloved' gorilla died following a 'prolonged illness in which her condition rapidly deteriorated', a statement from the park said. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10063997/Mountain-gorilla-viral-selfie-star-dies-cradled-arms-man-rescued-her.html Lalasticlala Mynd44 2 Likes 1 Share

Ndakasi, who died aged 14, was saved by Virunga rangers when she was two-months-old after they found her clinging to the lifeless body of her mother who had been gunned down by armed militia hours earlier Ndakasi survived the massacre of her family in 2007, but the trauma of losing them coupled with a long period of rehabilitation meant she was too vulnerable to return to the wild. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10063997/Mountain-gorilla-viral-selfie-star-dies-cradled-arms-man-rescued-her.html Lalasticlala 1 Share

This is quite an interesting read from an African country. The animal received care from a country that cares about lives. No! Not Nigeria! |
