Also, if we were intended to have the diet of gorillas, why then did fake-dr, not-hindu jay just post that we need to drink gallons of water a day? Gorillas rarely, if ever, drink water... > Conga... > > Thanks for the question. > |

> As far as I know... You're wrong, and so are the vegan propagandists who peddle such distortions. Mountain gorillas tend to eat no animal matter, while lowland gorillas do. The results of a nine-year field study of mountain gorillas living with chimps in Uganda offer intriguing new clues to the evolution of the modern human diet, Stanford said. The late Dian Fossey's studies of "gorillas in the mist" may have left many laypeople with the impression that gorillas are docile, cow-like creatures who favor leaves, while meaty foods are left to high-energy chimps. Fossey's gorillas, however, lived in a cold, wet, volcanic region of Africa and had little access to meat, Stanford explained. In more typical environments, he said, gorillas compete aggressively with chimps for available meat sources, and offer useful clues to the dietary adaptations of our early hominid ancestors. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0223144712.htm It was also found in Gabon that the gorilla frequently breaks into termite nests to feed on the insects inside. Western gorillas have also been observed wading through shallow pools and swamps to harvest water plants. They further differ from eastern animals in that they occasionally include some animal food in their diet. http://www.animalinfo.org/species/pr...igori.htm#Diet Diet: Lowland gorillas are primarily vegetarians and eat fruit, leaves, stems and other plant matter. They occasionally eat meat, insects and eggs — if they are easy to obtain — but they are not dependent on these food items. http://www.kidsgowild.com/kidsgowild...ts/88075/88574 Etc.
