the claim

Wild gorillas get enough protein for large muscle mass from a diet of leaves, stems, and fruit.

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that wild gorillas get enough protein for large muscle mass from a diet of leaves, stems, and fruit?

Unclear. One study reports that wild gorillas over-ingest protein on a leaf-based diet, and a general reference explains that large herbivores meet amino-acid needs by fermenting large quantities of plant matter. Neither source addresses whether this protein intake supports large muscle mass in wild gorillas.
