SPOTLIGHT ON
Two young gorillas--one in Los Angeles, the other in the heart of Africa--have inspired millions of people to care about gorillas and their future. Angela is a western lowland gorilla who lives with her family at the Los Angeles Zoo. Orphaned as an infant, Lulingu is a Grauer's gorilla who lives at GRACE, a sanctuary in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Though their stories are different, the two have much in common--and a lot to teach the world about what makes gorillas so special.
