Four men have been arrested in connection with the death of one of the world's most popular gorillas. Silverback gorilla Rafiki, which translates as 'friend' in English, was killed in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda, after going missing on June 1. In a statement, the state-run Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) said the four men were detained for their role in the death of Rafiki. The Uganda Wildlife Authority said the silverback's death was a 'very big blow', reported The Telegraph. The Nkuringo group's home is a 320-sq-km patch of dense tropical forest that is home to primates, elephants, antelopes and other wildlife.
