Plant Diets of Forest Gorillas

Western lowland gorillas consume a wide variety of plant material, including leaves, stems, wild fruits, and tree bark. They use their strong hands to strip leaves from vegetation and harvest fruits from forest plants throughout the day. Because their plant-based diet contains abundant moisture, these primates rarely need to drink standing water directly.

Questions and answers

Questions and Answers About Lowland Gorillas

Where do lowland gorillas live in the wild?
Lowland gorillas inhabit dense tropical rainforests, swamp forests, and woodland clearings in central West Africa. They spend their days resting and foraging on the forest floor.
Why do gorillas sit peacefully in forest clearings?
Gorillas spend long periods sitting quietly while digesting large amounts of fibrous plant leaves and foliage. Resting conserves energy needed for digesting tough vegetation.
Do lowland gorillas climb trees often?
Young gorillas frequently climb trees to play and forage for fruit, while heavy adult males usually remain on the ground or climb only low branches.
