Eating Habits
Mountain Gorillas eat parts of 142 different plant species and only 3 species of fruit, as fruit does not grow that high up in the mountains. About 86% of their diet is leaves, shoots and stems, while the rest of their diet consists of a range of flowers, roots, fruit and insects. A male Gorilla consumes a whopping 18kg of vegetation per day!
