What does the gorilla diet consist of? Gorillas are herbivores meaning that they have a plant-based diet. Not only do they consume a vast amount of different leaves, but they also consume bark, roots, bamboo, bamboo shoots, celery, seasonal fruits and flowers. Due to their high elevation, fruits are a little harder to come by and they consume less fruits than other gorilla species. #gorillafacts #gorilladiet #gorillanutrition #wildlifeconservation 📸: Cedric Ujeneza, Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund | D
