Just heard this beautiful silverback, Karibu, was found dead today at Kahurire village in Uganda. He was the third ranking silverback of Nkuringo group of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Gorilla Doctors was treating injuries he sustained during a fight with a lone silverback. I believe this is the third silverback death this year in Uganda. According to Association of Uganda Tour Operators; Karibu earned this name because he would alarm visitors with thumps on his chests and hoots, a form of welcoming trackers. This big, hairy darling of Bwindi was the self-appointed committee head of the Nkuringo family.
