In the dense rainforest of the Congo Basin, western lowland gorillas find food a plenty for their vegetarian diet. They eat shoots, fruit, wild celery, and other foraged items like marantaceae leaves and stems. Interestingly, the groups in the Ndzehi Forest where our guests explore have a talent for digging for roots, something not commonly seen with this species. #odzaladiscoverycamps#congoconservationcompany#discoverodzala #primatology#marantaceae
