Gorillas in the Mist Gorillas in the Mist by Dian Fossey is an excellent account of her thirteen years studying gorillas in the Virungas Mountains. Gorillas in the Mist shows the public that gorillas were not the evil monsters that we have come to think of them as. Through careful research Dain Fossey was able to bring an understanding to the eyes of the public about gorilla behavior, social structure, and the gorilla’s individualism. …showed first 75 words of 1439 total…

…showed last 75 words of 1439 total…very understandable book Dian Fossey even included in the back of the book scientific notations on various things that were mentioned in the text but not elaborated on; gorilla vocalizations, food types, and parasites to only name a few. I believe that this book was not so much on gorillas behavior, and the need to write about the research Dian Fossey had done, but a book to open the world’s eyes to this animal.
