Taiping 4 are home - Thank you IFAW!
Category: Gorillas | Date: Dec 09 2007 | By: admin
We have been very curious about the arrival of the Taiping 4 Gorillas back to their homeland in Cameroon. The International Fund For Animal Welfare have been instrumental right from the beginning and thanks to all the effort and their supporters, the Taiping 4 have arrived safely in Cameroon. You can read all about it on the IFAW blog.The blog reports that there was a huge wlecome: “The airport tarmac became the scene of an emotional welcome-back party, scores of media reporters, government officials and onlookers including traditional Cameroon dances and gorilla impersonators proudly welcomed their gorillas back home.”
Their final destination will be at the Limbe Wildlife Centre where I am sure we will be receiving regular updates about these 4 orphaned gorillas who have practically travelled right around the world!
On the other end of the continent is another hugely successful finding. Saving Snakes released confirmation of a newly identified Spitting Cobra. The bigger news is that this is the largest cobra spitting cobra known to man and it’s found mostly around the coastal areas of East Africa! We were as excited as the press. Less then 24 hours after WildlifeDirect put out a press release, it had been picked up by every major media house and Royjan Taylor’s (Director of Saving Snakes) phone would not stop ringing!
