Follow a baby mountain gorilla as it takes its first steps on an exciting journey through life in Africa's Volcanoes National Park. Join the young gorilla as it learns to find its favourite foods and to build its own night-nest to sleep in. Meet some of the other animals that share the gorilla's mountain habitat, and find out about the threats facing the gorilla and what can be done to protect these gentle giants.
