I spoke online to high school students of Kumon Leysin Academy of Switzerland on the theme of “why gorillas must not become extinct.”
I introduced videos of the sounds gorillas use to communicate (vocalization), talked about when females transfer groups, and also talked about plans to expand the park.
Male gorillas are good fathers. When children reach the age of about three, they spend more time with males. However, when that happens, some females actually leave in search of another male.
The high school students asked some very interesting questions.
