Gorillas in the MistFor thirteen years, Dian Fossey lived and worked with Uncle Bert, Flossie, Beethoven, Pantsy, and Digit in the remote rainforests of the volcanic Virunga Mountains in Africa, establishing an unprecedented relationship with these shy and affectionate beasts. In her base camp, 10,000 feet above sea level, she struggled daily with rain, loneliness, and the ever constant threat of poachers who slaughtered her beloved gorillas with horrifying ferocity.
