She's in the group.

He was distracted.

He was cheating.

They do.

The thing about mountain gorillas, of the four types of gorillas, they're really the only ones that live in these multi-male groups.

So if you look at the other three types, they generally just have one adult male.

Because they live in this forest with tons of food, their social structure...

is different, but I don't think like it's caught up with them evolutionarily.

So there's not supposed to be all these males living together.

And so they haven't quite figured it out yet.

The dominant male normally does most of the siring, but younger males can do it.

And I think we talked about this last time that they have this vocalization they do when they copulate.

And these younger males will sneak off with the females and they're hidden in the bushes, but they still make this vocalization.

Like they can't not make it.

And the dominant male is like, oh, wait, what's happening?

No, unless it's really young females.
