Seems that they've been hiding.

[off_again]

And there was me thinking this was some form of slang or something....

They really found some stonking big Gorillas!

"More than 100,000 rare gorillas found in Congo"

[hornetrider]

Mmmmmm, Gorilla burgers okay now then yeah?

[captainzep]

Its no surprise.

After finding all that surplus Um Bongo (they drink it in the Congo) there were bound to be more gorrillas and stuff.

Shoddy stock control. -Or a poorly thought through audit form.

The CNN scribe can't spell diarrhea(sic) either.

[Baby Huey]

Diarrhoea is a tricky word to spell though. . . . . .

[randomman]

Bet they aren't allowed into that nightclub like the other gorillas that tried last week. Or were they buffalo?

[SS HSV]

Damn that means I will have to close down one of my Gorrila charities

That's how they spell it in the US.

Dian Fossey might be hiding something, hmmm

[MitchT]

Are they still rare now that there's 100,000 more of them?

No, fire away.

[turbobloke]

They were hiding behind vacationing polar bears. This threw the audit.

I love this kind of thing

All the tree huggers claiming they are on the edge of extinction etc because of cars etc and so on and how they know everything there is to know.

Then nature turns round and shows them that in fact they know basically bugger all. This planet is a wonderful place and we still have loads to learn and the more folk explore the better.

Not exactly numerous either though....

She worked with the Mountain Gorillas In Rewanda (Virunga Volcanoes).. which are now very rare due to wars/deforestation/poaching/genocide.
They are the ones that require the charity. (as well as pandas, although as pandas seem to be entirely useless at everything they do they do lose a bit of sympathy with me).
