Safari summary
Mountain gorillas survive on vegetation as their daily food, which comprises leaves, buds, shoots, fruits, bedstraw, celery, stinging nettles and flowers among others. The young gorilla babies survive on their mother’s breastfeeding milk till at the age of three after which they start feeding on vegetation just like the grown family members. Unlike other animal species, mountain gorillas do not drink water but only survive on the water within the vegetation they eat.
