A tracker and a group of tourists witnessed the event, which officials said was the first time juveniles had been seen dismantling a snare. “Chimpanzees are always quoted as being the tool users, but I think, when the situation provides itself, gorillas are quite ingenious,” said veterinarian Mike Cranfield, executive director of the Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project.
