Mountain gorillas typically do not drink water directly but they get it from the plants they eat. When they do come across water spots, they sometimes have a drink but they also are keen to have some fun! Here we have young Uhiriwe playing and drinking from a water spot! #mountaingorilla #gorillas 📸: Eric Ndayishimiye, The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund | Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund

This is likely due to climate change and the impacts on vegetation. #nature #conservation #gorillas : Olivier Dusenge | Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund | Facebook

These three gorillas from Segasira's group are captivated by their reflection in the water! 👀 We totally get it 💁 - how can you not look at yourself when you are as beautiful as a mountain gorilla? 😍 💅 Notice how the gorillas also drink some water. Gorillas don't typically drink water, as they get all the hydration they need from plants. That doesn't mean they don't mind taking an occasional drink when the opportunity presents itself! 💧 📹 Olivier Dusenge | Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund
