Two Gorillas Posing Like a Boss: That’s a Selfie Gone Viral

A photo, of a pair of orphaned mountain gorillas with two park rangers has gone globally viral.

A selfie of a park ranger with two gorillas posing like a boss has gone viral.

The photo shows a pair of orphaned mountain gorillas from the Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Cong with two park rangers.

Titled, “another day at the office”, the photo has since gone viral, with over 20,000 shares, and all major outlets from the BBC, to CNN, covering it.

Female gorillas Ndakazi and Ndeze seem to be quite the posers and are quite photogenic ‘naturally’. While one is standing with a fierce look on her face and her feet wide apart in a power move, the other leans forward so as not to get cropped out from the frame.

The selfie, which has gone viral globally, has evoked quite a lot of reactions on social media.

You might have recently seen caretakers Mathieu and Patrick’s amazing selfie with female orphaned gorillas Ndakazi and Ndeze inside the Senkwekwe center at Virunga National Park. We’ve received dozens of messages about the photo. YES, it’s real! Those gorilla gals are always acting cheeky so this was the perfect shot of their true personalities! Also, it’s no surprise to see these girls on their two feet either—most primates are comfortable walking upright (bipedalism) for short bursts of time. Guys, if you shared our gorilla selfie post, please share our Earth Day posts as well! Conserving Virunga’s amazing wildlife is a constant challenge for the Park and our work wouldn’t be possible without your support. Matching funds have been pledged on every donation to the Park today, up to a total of $25,000—giving us the opportunity to raise $50,000 for Virunga! Visit virunga.org/donate or click the link in our bio to get involved and keep sharing our posts! Thank you! *We want to emphasize that these gorillas are in an enclosed sanctuary for orphans to which they have lived since infancy. The caretakers at Senkwekwe take great care to not put the health of the gorillas in danger. These are exceptional circumstances in which the photo was taken. It is never permitted to approach a gorilla in the wild. #gorillaselfie #gorilla #mountaingorilla #mountaingorillaselfie #selfie #earthday #earthday2019 #virunga #virunganationalpark #congo #drcongo #rdc #drc #protecttheplanet #happyearthday #wildlife #wildlifeconservation #conservation #natureconservation
