Young gorillas unite young people to snare hunters

Add a proof that the intelligence of animals is closest to the person.

We often think we are smarter than close relatives, such as gorillas. Is it true?

living in Rwanda National Park is noted to have learned to avoid poachers and hunters traps, even collaborating with each other to destroy traps.

According to ScienceAlert, older gorillas often have the power to free themselves from traps if they are accidentally caught, but they are not so lucky.

Noose traps are often created by tying a loop of noose into a tall bamboo branch. People would then pull the bamboo branch bent, and fix the noose on the ground, while camouflaging it with soil, stone or leaves to hold it firmly below.

When the animal kicks into the noose, the trap will activate, the noose tightens the victim and lifts up if the animal's weight is light enough.

A team in Rwanda said they have found young gorilla groups actively seeking and dismantling traps, preventing the same type from becoming victims.

This group observes that a gorilla pulls and breaks the bamboo branches with traps, others disable the noose, and they repeat this action with many traps.

They believed that they recognized the connection between the trap and the death of their siblings through witnesses, leading to the birth of this behavior.

Chris Tyler-Smith, a geneticist at the Sanger Institute in England, said "most of our genes are very similar, or even similar to gorilla genes." This can help explain how they learn how to trap activity, identify traps and work together to dismantle them.
