For those tourists who have tracked in
gorillas in the Republic of Rwanda, might have come from across the legendary
mountain gorilla called the silverback cants bee. This has been one of the most
outstanding male mountain gorillas. This silver back disappeared from his group
in late February after there were serious signs of weakness. Following massive
searches by the one of the staff from Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund Staff, there are
no trace which can be found regarding the silverback gorilla. However, on May
12, Fossey Fund trackers spotted a partially decomposition of this silverback
body in a river. The daily patrols however arranged for the removal and
transportation of the remaining of this silverback and it was taken to
examination. The examination of the body was led by one of the staff of Dian
Fossey Staff. The most critical part which was taken was the teeth. There was
no thorough examination since the staff concluded that the body of cants bee
will take place for final verification.
By the time of the Cantbee disappearance, he
was thirty eight (38) years old. This means that, he had already passed the
life expectance for a mountain gorilla. During the birth of Cantsbee, it was
first seen by Dian Fossey. This silverback had been observed during its
lifespan by the successor of Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund. This mountain gorilla
broke a lot of records during his life span. These included leading the largest
group of the gorillas which have ever been observed and remaining dominant for
the longest reign ever recorded. Silverback Cantsbee was most known for his
unique personality and behaviors. He had very strong relationships with other
mountain gorillas and he was given respect by other mountain gorillas. The
respect given was in form of leadership. Luck enough, the genes and influence
of Cantbee will be felt for quite a long period of time.
Additionally, Cantbee helped to raise Gicurasi who was his son. The mother left this
group while he was still very young. This therefore meant that Cantsbee was
caring to his son. He was also very gentle and gentle to other gorillas, as
well as to us human observers. During his lifespan, he was a protective gorilla
who rarely entered fights. He used to protect females while another silverback
was fighting. Cantbee was indeed a real commander. Following the words of the
Didier Abavandimwe who is a research
assistant, he had this to say; Ever since he saw Cantsbee in 2009 he rarely
initiated conflicts and on the centrally, he used to end very serious between
other gorillas. He was very peaceful and because of this, he was impressed by
the long tenure of Cantbee since she was a dominant silverback is such a large
group. Cantsbee has been monitored and
studied throughout his entire life and his legacy shall live on among the
gorillas and human beings who have ever sighted this mountain gorilla. This is because, Cantbee will touch all the
lives of both the gorillas and human beings in the most wonderful way
