Mountain gorillas are distancing, too — from humans

Mountain gorillas are distancing, too from humans Vox.com 12/22/2020 Brian Resnick © Roger de la Harpe/Universal Images Group via Getty Images Mountain gorillas can catch human respiratory diseases like Covid-19. There are around 1,000 mountain gorillas left in the wild, and about 460 of them live in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda. In the park’s very dense, high-altitude forest (hence the name “impenetrable”), veterinarian Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka is working to keep them alive through the Covid-19 pandemic. No gorilla has come down with Covid-19, but Kalema-Zikusoka fears what might happen if one did. Gorillas live in tight-knit groups, so a respiratory infection could easily spread among them. Infected gorillas could get sick and die, or possibly suffer long-term consequences from the disease.
