So, I am back from holidays and probably need another vacation to recover from the excitement over the last two weeks.所以，我从假期回来，可能需要另一个假期来恢复体力，在过去两个星期的兴奋。 Thanks to everyone who continued to read and comment on Wild Facts while I was off.  Your dedication and support is greatly appreciated.大家谁继续阅读和野生事实的评论，而我在假日谢谢。您的奉献和支持是非常感谢。

Now that everything is back to normal, lets get onto Wild Fact #880 which will be about one of my favourite animals.现在一切都恢复正常，让事实＃880到野生将得到约我最喜欢的动物之一。 The Mountain Gorilla is a large animal that can weigh between 100 to 200 kg (220-440 lbs).山地大猩猩是一个大型的动物，可在100至200公斤的重量（220-440磅）。 Believe it or not the gorilla is thought to be very intelligent, which has often been compared to dolphins and humans.相信与否，大猩猩被认为是很聪明的，它常常被比作是海豚和人类。 Surprisingly the mountain gorilla is actually a calm, gentle, social and peaceful creature.  They are mainly vegetarians and if you were to watch their young you would think you were watching your kids play in the backyard.  There is a huge misconception of the gorilla standing tall and pounding his chest while roaring into the darkness of the forest.  The leader of the group, which is often a mature, strong male called a silverback, will portray this image while protecting their group.  As well, they will display this behaviour if they get excited but this reputation does not define all mountain gorillas.令人惊讶的山地大猩猩其实是一个平静，温和，社会及和平的动物。它们主要是素食主义者，如果你看到他们年轻的时候你会以为你在看你的孩子在后院玩。有一个大猩猩站在巨大的误解他的身高和冲击胸部，把森林的黑暗咆哮。该小组的，这常常是一个成熟的，强大的男性called一银背领导人，将塑造这种形象，同时保护他们的集团。由于良好，因此将这种行为如果显示他们感到兴奋，但这一名声并没有定义所有的山地大猩猩。 Don't get me wrong, I still don't recommend going up and trying to pet a wild gorilla.  I am just saying that they are actually a very peaceful, social animal that needs to be respected and admired.不要误会我，我仍然不建议持续上升，并试图宠物野生大猩猩。我只是说，他们实际上是一个非常和平，社会动物，需要得到尊重和钦佩。

Unfortunately some people admire them too much and continue to poach them since they consider the silverback to be a trophy.遗憾的是有些人欣赏他们太多，继续挖走他们，因为他们认为大猩猩是一个奖杯。 Then there are the people that don't care and simply destroy their habitat.然后有一些人不关心，只是摧毁他们的栖息地。 For these reasons the mountain gorilla is considered to be endangered with only 600 to 800 of them remaining in the wild.对于这些大猩猩被认为是只有600至800名的濒危野生其余原因。 The good news is that in 1991 a coalition called the International Gorilla Conservation Program (IGCP) was formed which assists in protecting these gorillas as well as their ever important habitat.好消息是，在1991年联合呼吁国际大猩猩保护计划（IGCP）的成立是在保护这些大猩猩以及他们日益重要栖息地助攻。 It is believed that the population of gorillas is steady and may even be on the rise but as usual there is a constant battle between humans and animals.据认为，大猩猩的人口是稳定的，甚至有可能上升，但像往常一样有一个人类和动物之间的不断斗争。 If you would like to help these majestic animals than I suggest checking out the following website:如果您想帮助这些建议比我检查了以下网站雄伟的动物：
