The film was based on Fossey's book of the same name and detailed her efforts to protect endangered mountain gorillas. Jane Goodall is a separate, famous primatologist who studied chimpanzees, not gorillas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I heard if Goodall but not Fossey so that is where it came from. Thanks for the correction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the correction. I had no idea and learned from googling it. I was like why is Sigourney Weaver being mentioned. I didn't even remember the movie, I don't think I saw it.

Mookz 1,362 Posted 5 hours ago It was still a good poast, because if anything, Goodall was more likely to take Sigourney Weaver with her out of jealousy. The opportunity probably just didn't arise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
