Fasten your seatbelt. We’re off on a long flight to Africa—land of spectacular sights, geography, plants and animals. Our journey brings us face-to-face with one big member of the primate family—the noble gorilla. Although gorillas love swinging on limbs in Africa’s tropical forests, they are often found at higher mountain elevations. Consuming over forty pounds of food daily, gorillas spend many hours searching the forest for appetizing plants and fruits to feed a big appetite. Loving good company, gorillas travel and live with others of their species including one—or more—who claim leadership of the troop.
