Despite the love and desire to retain his leadership title, age was catching up with him yet the attacks were still coming so strongly. In March of 2012, Mubare suffered an attack from a wild in-habituated male gorilla which foresaw Ruhondeza out of the family because he was too old to fight for it. After the fight, Ruhondozo sought refuge in the nearby Rubona village. People in this village loved, took good care and protected him until his death. Ruhondeza was buried near the park headquarters in Buhoma. After the fight, the group was torn apart resulting into the disappearance of some family members for example an adult female called “Bukumu” and 2 black-backs and up to date are nowhere to be seen, this only left the group with only five members.
