A new book gives a glimpse into the life of one of the planet's most endangered animals - the mountain gorilla. For his book, Gorillas: Living on the Edge, wildlife photographer Andy Rouse travelled to the mist-covered Virunga Volcanoes in Rwanda to capture the daily activities of gorillas on camera. In another encounter Andy gets a taste of the huge mammals' power when he is charged by a young silverback flexing his muscles. With an estimated 786 left in the wild, these magnificent animals are living life on the very edge of extinction. However, thanks to the efforts of a dedicated group of conservationists they're gradually fighting their way back from the brink.
