Are chimpanzees carnivores omnivore or herbivores?

Answer 1

Rob Dunn, a biologist at North Carolina State University, calls chimpanzees "partially lapsed vegetarians." He notes that less than 3% of the average chimp's diet is made up of meat. "On average," he writes, "nine days a year are meat days for chimps. But because chimps don't share perfectly, most chimps probably gets less than this."
