Gorillas are vegetarians. In the Virungas, they eat at least 58 different food plants mostly leaves, stems and the bark. Compared to Virunga, Bwindi has many more plant species. On rare occasions, they eat insects, nails, soils and dead plants. Many gorilla foods are concentrated in the bush, secondary growth of forest clearings and disturbed sites. The presence of these areas may affect the abundance of gorillas in some habitats. The high-altitude forests of the Virunga volcanoes have a more open canopy, with bush undergrowth spreading evenly throughout the forest. Gorillas depend on disturbed sites and tend to have smaller home ranges than those in Bwindi and other dense forests.

hope that helps..
