Chimps are approximately 98-99% vegetarian. The remaining 1-2% of their diet consists of bugs, especially termites. Chimps have been observed on rare occasions to kill and consume the flesh of bush pigs, other monkeys, and even other Chimps, after killing them in territorial raids. Why Chimps do this is unknown, but animal flesh is not a staple food source in the Chimpanzee diet.
