Mountain Gorilla Resting, Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda

A mountain gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) closes its eyes to rest in the rain forest of Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. The gorilla is a member of the Kwitonda group, which means "humble one" in Kinyarwanda, the national language of Rwanda. The Kwitonda group migrated from the Democratic Republic of Congo and now inhabits the lower slopes of Mount Muhabura in Rwanda.
