Wild mountain gorillas have a clever way to avoid inbreeding: the ladies refuse to join groups with any guys they grew up with! Instead, they stick with female friends they already know, making the move to a new group way less scary. Turns out, it’s not just about survival—gorilla friendships last across groups, just like ours. This social savvy could even help with gorilla conservation! Who knew gorilla girl squads were this strategic? #Science #Gorillas #Wildlife
