How Did Gorilla Ndakasi Die?
According to reports Ndakasi’s cause of death was an illness that caused her health to deteriorate rapidly. Details of what illness Ndakasi was suffering from have not been revealed. Like a scene from tragic love story movie Ndakasi died in the arms of ranger Andre Bauma who was one of the men who rescued her in 2007.

Many people thought NdaKasi’s viral selfie photo was fake, but it was 100% real. She was truly best friends with Rangers who were taking care of her.

Ndakasi was brought back to health at the Senkwekwe Center in Virunga National Park where she forged a lifelong bond with Andre Bauma and Mathieu Shamavu, the two Rangers in the viral gorilla selfie photo.
