Mostly True
Gorillas are said to live in a semi-permanent state of flatulence due to their vegetarian diet and intestinal microflora.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (64/100).
The claims about gorillas' flatulence and diet are supported by web evidence. Gorillas' flatulence is attributed to their plant-based diet and intestinal bacteria, which is a natural biological process. Their vegetarian diet is well-documented, with intestinal microflora aiding in digestion. The evidence is consistent across multiple sources, though primarily from medium-reliability sources like Reddit and UberFacts. No high-reliability sources were found, but the information aligns with known biological processes.
