Default Four rare mountain gorillas 'die in Uganda lightning strike'

So sad
they were doing well in Uganda.


[Four rare mountain gorillas, including
a pregnant female, have died in
Uganda after being hit by lightning,
a conservation group says.
The three adult females and
a male infant were found in
Uganda's Mgahinga National Park
with "gross lesions" on their bodies
indicating electrocution.
The Greater Virunga Transboundary
Collaboration (GVTC) called
this a "big loss for the species".
There are just over 1,000 mountain
gorillas in existence.]
