Early life adversity doesn't appear to affect gorilla health and lifespan later on in the same way it affects humans, researchers report.
A "healthy" gut microbiome may differ from one gorilla to another. The discovery could help diagnose potential health challenges for gorillas in human care.
New research indicates rapid evolution in some great ape Y chromosomes, but not others. The scientists wonder if mating habits are why.
Observing gorillas interacting with each other shows that they have more dynamic social bonds with their neighbors than researchers once thought.
Gorillas have teeth that are best for chomping on fruit and leaves, so researchers were surprised to see them using brute force to bite into nuts.
