Congo Orphans

Two gorillas at Virunga National Park in Congo have taken the internet by storm with their amusing illustration of this, posing - on two feet - in a photograph with park rangers.

Lwiro Primates, a rehabilitation center and sanctuary for nearly 200 orphaned chimpanzees and monkeys in Congo, shared a heart-melting video of a baby chimp rescue on Wednesday. In it, tiny Mussa sits in the lap of a pilot who is flying the animal from Virunga National Park to safety with Lwiro.

More than 4 million children have lost at least one parent in Congo over the past two decades, the silent victims of continuous cycles of violence.
