Description : GORILLA TREKKING
Mountain gorillas are believed to be descendants of ancestral monkeys and apes found in Africa and Arabia during the start of the Oligocene epoch that’s 34-24 million years ago. The fossil record provides evidence of the hominoid primates (apes) found in east Africa about 22–32 million years ago. The fossil record of the area where mountain gorillas live is particularly poor and so its evolutionary history is not clear.
