You wouldn't want to share a gorilla's dinner. Unless, of course, you like the taste of baby insects called grubs. Gorillas also eat leaves, bark, shoots, stems, roots, flowers, and fruit. Some gorillas also eat adult insects, such as termites.

The choice of foods varies, depending on the gorillas' habitat. Mountain gorillas eat bamboo and herbs that they find near the ground, and lowland gorillas climb to find ripe fruit.

Most of the regular plant life in a gorilla's habitat is a poor source of nutrients and calories, which the animal needs to grow and stay healthy. For this reason, a gorilla will even eat soil if it contains needed minerals.
