They just are herbavores. Kind of like some types of animals are. It means they do not eat meat and that just means Gorillas dont like meat.

∙ 13y agoYes, the mountain gorilla is a herbivore. According to a study done by Fossey and Harcourt in 1977, 99.9% of the Mountain Gorilla diet is vegetarian--only .1% of it is comprised of small invertebrates, which could be just that the small invertebrates were hanging onto the plants that the gorilla was eating.
