A mountain gorilla family has a daily routine that includes rest, travel, and feeding. Their diet is mainly plant parts like leaves, stems, and shoots with only a tiny portion of their diet coming from fruits. Luckily enough, there is plenty of food for everyone in the family so they don’t have to compete for food in the tropical forest of East Africa. They can live in different places and eat various things.   Since fruits are not easy to always find, the gorilla family has to travel more in the jungle to find the fruits. Mountain gorillas also eat insects like ants and termites and use tools like sticks to extract them from their hives.   Mountain gorillas do not drink water, this is because their food, like the juicy plants, already has a lot of water. Even though it is rare, there have been times when mountain gorillas were seen drinking water.
