I found this documentary to be a great intro to mountain gorillas: <a href="http://www.explore.org/explore/africa/films/176" target="_blank">http://www.explore.org/explore/africa/films/176</a> . Educational opportunities like this and the Houston Zoo&#039;s educational lecture series can do a lot to increase understanding of these creatures that seem so human. P.S. I&#039;m curious... why does the Foreign Policy Blog site have a picture of a baby gorilla?
