How do Mountain Gorillas eat?
Gorillas are mainly herbivores, (feed over 200 species of plants). They hunt for food in the forests during the day. They eat plant bulbs, seeds, flowers, leaves, fruit, tender plant shoots, and tree bark. Irregularly, gorillas complement their diet with ants and termites. Gorillas rarely need to drink water since their diet is rich in juicy herbs. A normal adult male eats roughly 50 pounds of food a day.
