ADORABLE: ‘Rare’ Twinnies born in the wild…

Did you know that the Eastern gorilla is the world's largest living primate?

Twin mountain gorillas have been born in Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda.

Fewer than 800 mountain gorillas are thought to remain in the wild, though numbers are thought to be increasing.

The twins are both boys. CUTE!

The pair are thought to be the first Gorilla twins born in the African country since 2004 - and only the fifth pair to be born there ever.

Mum Kabatwa gave birth to the pair on 3 February 2011 in the Virunga Massif National Park

There are thought to be less than 800 mountain gorillas left in the wild

The Virunga Massif is so big it spreads into three countries in Africa, and although numbers of mountain gorillas are low they are thought be increasing.

Saving apes

Ape Alliance, an organisation that work to try and save apes, said: "Gorilla mothers usually have only one baby every four years or so - which is one reason why they are so vulnerable - so twins give a rare double gain in one birth."
