PHYSiCAL CHARACTERiSTiCS: The mountain gorilla has a robust build with long, muscular arms, a massive chest, and broad hands and feet. It is the hairiest race of gorillas; its long, thick black hair insulates it from the cold of living at high elevations.
HABiTATS: Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park (Uganda), Volcanoes National Park (Rwanda) and Virunga National Park (Democratic Republic of Congo).
DiET: Mountain gorillas eat over 200 different species of plants. They rarely need to drink since their diet is so rich in succulent herbs, from which they get their water.
