This book offers a rare glimpse into the behavior of captive gorillas raised by humans, a practice ended almost completely by the 1980s. We watch these animals grow and change under the watchful eye of Ann Southcombe. Reading these diaries is to witness this amazing woman's love and dedication to these furry friends, and the lasting bonds formed between two species.


The Gorilla Diaries takes us back to a time when zoos were turning from menageries designed to amuse the public, to conservation and education institutions.

Ann gives us a glimpse into her days with seven baby gorillas, including the antics of each different personality.
