The birth of twins in mountain gorillas is rare and the survival of both babies is even more rare. A gorilla mother of twins must be able to feed and carry two babies while eating enough plant material to sustain herself and keep up with the rest of her gorilla group, which may travel several kilometers per day. Female Kabatwa of the Hirwa mountain gorilla group in Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park gave birth to twin boys in early February 2011. At 7-months-old, the twins are active and strong, thanks to their tireless mother. Dr. Jan Ramer of Gorilla Doctors filmed the twins while visiting Hirwa group to perform a routine health check on the individuals. The Gorilla Doctors are dedicated to saving the lives of the critically-endangered mountain and Grauer's gorillas of Rwanda, Uganda, and DRC through health care. Our international team of veterinarians is the only group providing these animals with direct, hands-on care in the wild. www.gorilladoctors.org
