Over the span of 10 years, Dr. Edward Wright of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology along with other scientists observed the drinking water behaviour of Mountain Gorillas, scientifically known as Gorilla beringei beringei. The observation concluded that the species drank more water as the temperature rose.  “Understanding how animals obtain water is increasingly important in the face of climate change, as warmer temperatures and more extreme weather conditions are predicted to influence water availability, which could have implications for how they use their limited habitat,” said Dr. Edward Wright. Mountain gorillas are rainforest dwelling species and get most … Continue reading Endangered Mountain Gorillas May Not Endure Water Shortage Caused By Climate Change
