Gorillas are primarily herbivores so they are generally not predators. Mountain gorillas mostly eat foliage, such as leaves, stems, pith, and shoots, while fruit makes up a very small part of their diets. Eastern lowland gorillas have more diverse diets, which vary seasonally. Leaves and pith are commonly eaten, but fruits can make up as much as 25% of their diets. Western lowland gorillas depend on fruits more than the others and they are more dispersed across their range.
They do act as predators occasionally. For example Eastern lowland gorillas will also eat insects, preferably ants, and Western lowland gorillas may eat Termites and ants.
As rather large mammals, they are normally left alone by most predators, but may be occasional prey for leopard. Gorilla remains have been found in leopard scat (but this may be the result of scavenging). Sadly, Gorillas frequently find themselves as prey to Humans via poaching and the bushmeat trade.
