Who Was Dian Fossey?

Dian Fossey’s remarkable journey began in San Francisco in 1932. As a child of divorced parents, she grew up alongside her mother and stepfather. Dian exhibited an insatiable passion for animals from an early age and excelled as a student. Her fascination with animals blossomed during her teenage years, particularly her love for horseback riding. In college, she initially pursued a business-focused path, encouraged by her wealthy stepfather. However, a transformative experience working on a Montana ranch during a college summer break kindled her love for animals. This pivotal moment led her to shift her academic focus to pre-veterinary studies at the University of California.

Despite facing academic challenges, Dian persevered. Eventually, she obtained a degree in occupational therapy from San Jose State College in 1954.
