Gorilla study reveals complex pros and cons of friendship
78% Informative
Scientists examined over 20 years of data on 164 wild mountain gorillas, to see how their social lives affected their health.
Costs and benefits changed depending on the size of gorilla groups, and differed for males and females.
Males with strong social bonds tended to get ill more -- but were less likely to be injured in fights.
Cantsbee , also a silverback, led his group for 22 years -- the longest dominance tenure ever recorded.
He was known for his authoritative but peaceful nature, rarely initiating or entering fights, but was quick to protect others and resolve conflicts in the group.
He had a particularly close relationship with his son Gicurasi , whose mother left when he was young.
