Kesho and his brother Alf were reunited this week in their new home in Longleat Safari Park and welcomed each other with open arms.

This is remarkable, young gorillas have been seen dismantling poachers traps, days after a gorilla was trapped and killed by a snare.

It’s thought that this is the first time gorillas have been seen to destroy such traps.

It’s that time of year again!
Below is a round up of the 10 most viewed posts on Cryptoworld over the last year. UFOs and Thylacines are still hot topics — what will be hot for 2012?

This is a pretty amazing video of a man being touched and groomed by Wild Mountain Gorilla in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.

The video shows wild mountain gorillas visiting an ecotourism tented camp, the guy ‘John’ is speechless as the baby gorillas touch him and it also looks like one of them kisses him on the cheek!

A 40ft sperm whale was washed up dead on a beach near Old Hunstanton, Norfolk UK. It is believed the whale was alreadt dead before being washed ashore by the high tide.

Large crowds gathered to see the whale, which is near the high tide mark.

A massive crocodile weighing one tonne has been caught by villagers in a remote area of the Philippines. At 21ft (6.4m), it is thought to be one of the biggest ever caught alive.

So the Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger) has finally been cleared of killing sheep – but the news comes 75 years too late! New studies suggests the Tasmanian Tiger’s jaw was not strong enough to kill sheep and the bounty on their heads was unjust!

This month also marks the sad death of the last captive Tasmanian Tiger, know as Benjamin.

A rare alligator has been found alive inside a dustbin in China.

The Yangtze Alligator or Chinese Alligator is thought to have been dumped by smugglers, or possibly escaped from a wildlife park.

The crew and researchers onboard a routine cetacean research survey in Scotland were treated to an encounter with a Leatherback Turtle.

While crossing the Minch on Sunday 5th June, between Skye and Harris, a massive Leatherback turtle, measuring about 1.5 metres, was spotted to the delight of all onboard.

Amazing bit of footage of a basking shark swimming just off the Panama City Beach in Florida — what’s amazing is a kayaker is seen paddling straight over it and later said he was unaware the shark was even there.

The person who identified himself as the kayaker in this video says the kayak is 14-feet long, so that gives you a perspective on the shark’s size.
