Poachers

As you may have already guessed, yes the gorilla lost his life at the hands of human brutality. The young gorilla’s mother had been attacked by none other than the evil poachers who had managed to sneak into the national park. He and another two orphaned gorillas had been kept in the park after losing their parents because of the poachers. The young gorilla can be seen hanging onto Karabaranga as if he is pleading him to make the pain go away. He rests in the park ranger’s arms, looking for someone to ease the agony.
