Mountain gorillas were saved from extinction thanks to the incredible and unorthodox Dian Fossey. | National Geographic TV

Are gorillas are picky eaters? Nope. We might instead use the term "selective" eaters. 🌱 Gorillas can create the perfect bite of a plant by cleaning off dirt and debris and then wrapping and compacting the leaves before putting them in their mouths! Manipulation techniques can vary for each food they eat. In this video, watch Taraja eat Gallium - one of mountain gorillas' favorite foods! 📹 Eric Ndayishimiye | Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund
