Mountain gorillas at the Virunga National Park, a site gravely impacted by war and armed conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo, have bonded so well with their anti-poaching rangers that they are posing for selfies together.

Virunga National Park is one of the most biologically diverse areas on earth and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but it has been gravely impacted by instability and violence in the country for the last two decades.
