MILESTONES, Page 31
DIED. Mrithi, 23, the 400-lb. male silverback ape who
appeared in Gorillas in the Mist; after being shot; in Rwanda.
Local wildlife experts speculate that Mrithi was mistakenly shot
in the forest by a soldier or rebel in the country's raging civil
war. Mrithi became a popular tourist attraction as a result of
the work of biologist Dian Fossey.
