A silverback in the Titus Group of Mountain Gorillas watches me out of the corner of his eyes as I approach to get a few shots. These animals command respect - adult males are called silverbacks because of a saddle of sliver-colored hair which develops on their backs with age, but they stand more than 6 feet tall and typically weigh more than 450 pounds!
