Mountain Gorilla Encounter

Sir David Attenborough has spent a lifetime travelling to some of the most extraordinary and remote places on Earth to film wildlife – from the tiniest creatures to the mighty blue whale. One of his most memorable moments was an unplanned encounter with a group of mountain gorillas in Central Africa, a scene that captured his deep respect and admiration for the animals we share our planet with.
