Questions and answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do mountain gorillas live in bamboo forests?
Bamboo provides mountain gorillas with both food and shelter. The thick stalks grow quickly in high mountain regions, giving gorillas a constant supply of fresh shoots to eat throughout the year.
What do gorillas use wooden troughs for in managed environments?
In wildlife sanctuaries, wooden troughs hold water or fresh plant food for animals to access easily. In nature, gorillas gather moisture directly from the plants they consume.
