democrats -dumber than gorillas;

According to Pascaline Le Gouar, senior author of the study, Ebola disrupts gorillas in a very unique way, with entire populations quickly moving from an affected region and dissolving.

“Along with the decrease in survival and in reproduction, Ebola outbreak perturbed social dynamics in gorilla populations,” Le Gouar explained in a release.

According to the study, once gorillas became aware of an Ebola threat they began to purposely isolate themselves, no longer immigrating with neighboring populations and only rarely breeding. The result? The virus quickly runs out of hosts, disappearing from shrinking populations entirely in the course of a few months.

And while that’s good for gorillas, it leaves investigators with nothing to work with, and back at square one.
