The facts on the card

- She studied them daily in the mountain forests of Rwanda, initially encouraged to work there by paleoanthropologist Louis Leakey.
- Gorillas in the Mist, a book published two years before her death, is Fossey's account of her scientific study of the gorillas at the Karisoke Research Center and her prior career.
- It is one of the sources for a 1988 film of the same name.
Why it is Epic

ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 81 and blocks with 99: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
