Scientists warn rising heat could be fueling violence.

Gorillas have always been a symbol of strength wrapped in gentleness, but new research suggests that rising global temperatures are reshaping their lives in dark ways. As habitats shrink, food cycles shift, and stress climbs, scientists are documenting more cases of infanticide inside gorilla groups. What once seemed rare is now surfacing with disturbing frequency. The evidence points to climate stress as a hidden driver. The question facing researchers now is whether climate change is forcing gorillas into choices they never had to make before.
