If I’m right, this lady was one of Leakey’s Trimates, was murdered and buried in a gorilla graveyard, and was portrayed by Sigourney Weaver in the movie.
But I could be wrong.
But you would be right, because
YES!! I am Dian Fossey
Author of Gorillas in the Mist (#17) and founder of the Digit Fund to support anti-poaching efforts (#13). Although, it would be awesome if she were known for military R&D, promoting advances in gorilla warfare.
Thank you!
