She believed that she could get more financial assistance for her work by getting an advanced degree. She left Africa in 1970 and attended the University of Cambridge in England. She received a doctorate in zoology a few years later. Fossey returned to Rwanda to find that hunters were killing some of what she called "her gorillas." The hunters earned money by selling the heads, hands and feet of the animals. Among the gorillas killed was one called Digit. Fossey had observed Digit for many years and treated him almost like a friend. His remains were placed with those of other dead gorillas in a special burial area near her camp.
