The behavior she\u2019s referring to occurs in mountain gorilla groups, such as a \u201cdominance transfer,\u201d where a younger male silverback takes over leadership from an older male, and infanticide, where an outsider or ostracized gorilla kills the offspring of a new mother within the group. The former of these was captured on camera within days of filming for the new Netflix documentary A Gorilla Story: Told by David Attenborough. Stoinski joins the Mongabay Newscast to discuss her role as a scientific adviser on the years-long project, the rarity of the behaviors captured on camera, and her thoughts on gorilla conservation in the Greater Virunga Landscape of Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Please take a minute to let us know what you think of our podcast here. Mike DiGirolamo is the host &amp;amp; producer for the Mongabay Newscast based in Sydney. Find him on LinkedIn and Bluesky.
