Can a gorilla eat meat?

The gorilla diet consists of eating 40 plus pounds of vegetation and fruit daily. Gorillas are primarily Herbivores and occasionally snack on termites, ants, and termite larvae but gorillas DO NOT eat meat or the flesh of other animals.

Why are gorillas vegetarian?

Gorillas are fairly smart, but they don’t eat vegetarian out of ethical/logical reasons, but do so by instinct. They eat a lot of leaves, stems, bamboo shoots, and even some fruit. An average adult male eats 18 kgs of plants per day.
