The poachers—illegal hunters—had finally found a buyer for their stolen goods. A meeting was    36    , and when the buyer asked to see the goods, they brought out a small duffel bag and unzipped it. Inside was a    37    one-year-old baby gorilla. The poachers had likely killed the little female’s parents and    38    her in the forests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in Africa. Then they took her across the border into Rwanda,    39    to sell her as a pet.
But the buyer didn’t bring    40    ; he brought the police. The Rwandan authorities    41    the young gorilla to the nearby headquarters of the Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project. The vets（兽医）there realized that she had not been given    42    food or water, but they were much more worried about something else.

That was a delayed    50   to the combined traumatic experiences of losing her parents and being kept—with a poor diet—by the poachers.
After six months of loving care that included around-the-clock attention, a good diet, and a    51    home at the project’s headquarters, Dunia was looking and acting like a    52    , happy young gorilla should. “Dunia is sort of a shy show-off,” says Whittier. “Her    53    is growing and she’s becoming more independent, but when she is    54    , the first thing she does is run back to her    55    , just like she would to her mother.”
