This could be a brilliant new strategy to fight poachers. Train Gorilla's to foil poacher's traps and train dolphins to counter the nets and traps used by dolphin hunters. Now if only we could train elephants and rhinos to dodge bullets somehow.
Seriously though, this idea has potential.

I think it's even more impressive that this is happening of its own accord. This means they are 1. Intelligent enough to recognize the impending danger and reconcile it and 2. are likely evolving more mental capacity as a result of new dangers (i.e. man). Pretty amazing stuff.
