Why can't human blood be used in a gorillas body?

Gorillas have a different blood type than humans do. If you inserted the blood into a gorilla, the gorillas immune system would see the human blood as a foreign object and attack it, making the gorilla very sick. This happens even between humans! When blood transfusions are made in hospitals, doctors have to be very careful that the recipient has the smame kind of blood as the donor so the patients body doesn't react.


Why do gorillas have 2 large sharp teeth like a carnivore if they don't eat meat?

Gorillas have sharp teeth called canines as a result of evolutionary traits inherited from their common ancestors with carnivorous species. Despite having these teeth, gorillas mainly consume a vegetarian diet of leaves, fruits, and plants. The canines are used for display purposes and as a way to establish dominance within the group rather than for hunting or eating meat.

Who was the ape researcher who was murdered?

Diane Fossey was discovered murdered in the bedroom of her cabin in Virunga Mountains, Rwanda on December 27, 1985. The last entry in her diary read:"When you realize the value of all life, you dwell less on what is past and concentrate more on the preservation of the future"Fossey's skull had been split by a machete, a tool widely used by poachers, which she had confiscated from a poacher years earlier and hung as a decoration on the wall of her living room adjacent to her bedroom. Fossey was found dead beside her bed, with her handgun beside her and her own hair pulled out and in her hand. She was in the act of loading her weapon, but picked the wrong type of ammunition during the struggle. The cabin showed signs of a struggle as there was broken glass on the floor and tables along with other furniture overturned. All Fossey's valuables were still in the cabin - thousands of dollars in cash, travelers' checks, and photo equipment remained untouched. She was 2 metres (7 ft) away from a hole cut in the wall of the cabin on the day of her murder.Fossey is buried at Karisoke,in a site that she herself had constructed for her dead gorilla friends. She was buried in the gorilla graveyard next to Digit, and near many gorillas killed by poachers. Memorial services were also held in New York, Washington, and California.
