Gorilla
(redirected from mountain gorillas)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.
Gorilla
A company that has the greatest market share in a particular industry without having a monopoly. A gorilla usually has greater leeway in its decisions; for example, it may charge a higher price for its products without fear of losing too much business. Large companies, such as Wal-Mart or Microsoft, are considered gorillas.

Mountain gorillas are found only on the slopes of the Virungas on the borders of Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo and fewer than 700 individuals are left, according to the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International.
The mountain gorilla is a tourist attraction unique to Rwanda and it is estimated that 350 of the 650 existing mountain gorillas are located in Rwanda and the DRC, making the Gisenyi area home to the highest concentration of mountain gorillas in their natural habitat.
ANIMAL-LOVERS will be able to "befriend" endangered mountain gorillas on social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook as part of a fundraising drive, conservationists in Uganda said.
