Gorilla Research Challenges 'Alpha Male' Social Dominance

For a long time, people thought that the strongest, most aggressive males were at the top of the social group, like "alpha males."

But new research about gorillas shows a different picture.

Gorillas, especially the females, are more about friendship and connections.

Even when they move to new groups, they keep in touch with old friends.

This way, they create a safer environment compared to the ones lead by very aggressive males.

Instead of fighting, they focus on building strong relationships.
