Four Gorillas Killed by Cold Weather in Rwanda, New Times Says

Four gorillas found dead in Rwanda’s Karisimbi area probably died of extreme cold, the New Times reported, citing Rica Rwigamba, head of tourism at the Rwanda Development Board.

The gorillas, a female and three infants, were found dead between May 16 and May 17, the Kigali-based newspaper said. Post-mortems are now being carried out to confirm what killed the apes, all of which were known to rangers and were named last year, the New Times said.
