The Death of Titus


 

Before departing I have been browsing information related to the Mountain Gorillas. I discovered a great love and respect, which is a good thing indeed. In particular I was struck with the emotions regarding the recent death of Titus, who was a well known silverback in Rwanda. The Dian Fossey website and BBC contain articles written as obituaries which personalized his life and gave me a chill.
