In a rare sighting, conservationists have captured new images of the world's rarest gorillas with several babies in southern Nigeria.
The Cross River gorillas were spotted in the dense Mbe Mountains in Cross River state on a camera set up by the Wildlife Conservation Society.
The gorillas tend to avoid humans and their few populations have been the target of hunters in the past. Images of the gorillas were also captured in 2012 in Cameroon's Kagwene Gorilla Sanctuary. The society said it has been working with several communities to ensure the gorillas' protection and since 2012, no deaths of the subspecies have been recorded or reported in Nigeria.
