Question

A group of scientists are studying a group of gorillas in the wild. They are trying to determine if young gorillas display signs of hyperactivity after eating certain types of foods. The study takes place over several months. They observe the gorillas each day during the same time period. They note what types of food the gorillas eat each day and document how much time the gorillas spend playing and sleeping. Why is studying animals in the wild considered to be somewhat experimentally "out of control"?

Answer 1

The scientists cannot control the actions or movements of the gorillas. They have no power over them and their for cannot make them do or change anything. All the actions of the gorillas are only cause the gorillas act a certain way, not that the scientists can, or are, making them do anything.Hope this helps!
