There are gorillas in the mist?

They found 125,000 gorillas recently. In the Congo. Apparently, you don't really "tag" or "count" these gorillas, you just look at their nests and count them. (Called nests, I prefer- pallets to sleep on) Have you seen the size of the Congo? Where do 100,000 gorillas hide for 10 years. (The last count was in 1992) I misplace a sock or my eye glasses for a week- but gorillas? The WCS located the "mother lode" (I take this direct quote) and also discovered 6,000 gorillas they didn't even know were in a isolated swamp. This fascinates me. I understand the concept of the forests. I understand the concept of a secretive species. But misplacing and underestimating 125,000 gorillas? They're not mice- how does this happen?

In other news, you can now get a camera, mp3 player and other small electronic needs at vending machines in the Dallas Airport. ...Maybe we can pick up a tracking device on the way to the Congo.
