According to statement from Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA), the new born baby
was from Kibande mother gorilla. This marks the second birth in Rushegura group
family which has been registered in a period of not more than 2 months in 2020
alone.
The newly born baby gorilla now makes Kibande a mother
to 5 amazing off springs thus accounting to Rushegura group’s 17 members today.
Kibande is considered to be the most senior lady and kingmaker of Rushegura gorilla
group family. This makes it one of the exceptional habituated gorilla groups
worthy exploring on Uganda gorilla safaris in Bwindi.
