    GORILLAS IN THE MIST

    Beastmaster: Dian Fossey 

    Animal Accomplice: Gorillas

    The Story: Dian Fossey dedicated her life to learning about the behavior of gorillas and advocating their conservations. Fossey lived with the animals for 20 years, closely studying their social structures and personalities. She published her experiences with the gentle giants in "Gorillas in the Mist." Sadly, Fossey was murdered in 1985, but her work for gorillas and against poaching is still lauded today. (Biography)
