Mountain Gorilla Eating

Dian Fossey spent the majority of her adult life in the mountains of east central Africa studying the shy and elusive Mountain Gorilla, one of humanity's closest relatives. First recruited by anthropologist Louis B. Leaky, Fossey’s research blazed a path to new understandings of primate behavior. Through rare photos taken by Fossey and the National Geographic Society, this exhibit explores her adventures living with and studying these gentle giants.
