Rare Footage of Gorillas in the Trees, Plus a Gorilla Soap Opera

In a National Geographic Live program, scientist Mireya Mayor describes an incident she witnessed while studying western lowland gorillas. The story is straight out of an afternoon soap: moody father, pushy teenager and a nasty divorce.
