Gorillas pose for selfie with DR Congo anti-poaching unit

Quote:Two gorillas have been photographed posing for a relaxed selfie with the rangers who rescued them as babies.

The image was taken at a gorilla orphanage in Virunga National Park, DR Congo, where the animals were raised after poachers killed their parents.

The park's deputy director told BBC Newsday that they had learned to imitate their carers, who have looked after them since they were found.

The gorillas, he added, think of the rangers as their parents.

Maybe the DRC would be willing to lend these gorillas to South Africa to help with the rhino poaching problem.

Oh, wait - the elephants and lions have that covered.
