Infanticide is a common reproductive strategy in gorillas, typically directed at infants outside the family group. However, the male Infura has killed four infants within his own group, a highly unusual and concerning behavior. This pattern suggests a potential deviation from typical reproductive strategies, possibly linked to his own traumatic past and the unstable social dynamics following a leadership change.

Impact: High. This extreme behavior raises questions about the stability of gorilla social structures and the potential for individual pathology to disrupt group dynamics, impacting infant survival rates.
