Best Answer

No. Not usually anyway.

Chimps are omnivores, meaning they eat both meat and plants, though mostly plants.

Chimps don't actively hunt monkeys, but they will attack monkeys if they pose a threat to their young, there's a chance they may eat them after, but it would be a very rare occurrence.

This is why you see monkeys mixed with gorillas in zoos but not with chimps.

Are monkeys herbivore carnivore or omnivore?

It depends on which monkey you are talking about? While most monkeys are herbivores, eating fruit and leaves, etc, chimpanzees have been documented in hunting, killing and eating other monkeys they catch in the tree tops. This makes chimpanzees omnivores - eating plants and (occasionally) meat.
