The Group 13 one of the famous gorilla groups that got its names from the number of members it possessed at the time of habituation.
Formerly when the mountain gorilla habituation was being conducted at the remarkable Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, the Agashya Gorilla group was not spared.
And during this time, the Agashya featured 13 members and the trackers found it easy to identify it by the number of its members which resulted into its naming as Group 13.
At the time of habituation, it was under the leadership of dominant Nyakairima who later was defeated by Agashya.

At the time of habituation Agashya gorilla group had 13 members but today, it is thriving with about 25 members that include: the dominant Silverback, the 12 female adults, the two Sub adult female, the three Juvenile along with seven Babies enjoying the lush green of Volcanoes National Park and posing interestingly for the encounter of the Rwanda safari undertakers.
Initially, this mountain gorilla family group was under the dominant leadership of Nyakairima silverback who however was defeated by the Agashya and he eventually take over the dominance from him.
Just like any attacker would do in humans, the same applies in this mountain gorillas side too. Agashya carefully analyzed and assessed all the strengths of Nyakairima, got loopholes and then concentrated on that when he staged a strong battle where he automatically emerged as a winner, taking charge and dominance of the gorilla group including all the group members leaving Nyakairima in wonder.

Agashya moved up the Volcano to ensure that Nyakairima should not trace them again and is credited for increasing the gorilla family from the former size of 12 to the apparent estimate of 25 individuals.
