Is a chimp a meat eater?

Answer 1

Chipanzees are both plant and meat eaters,also known as omnivores. It was once beleived that they were just plant eaters, or herbivores. Many scientists, like Jane Goodall, found this out by watching them carefully.

There are two types of chimpanzee; the common chimpanzee is omnivorous - it eats both meat and fruits - much like ourselves.

The pygmy chimpanzee (or bonobo) is largely fruitarian.

Answer 2

Chimps like humans are opportunistic in what they eat . Primarily chimps are vegetarians or frugivores (fruit eaters). They are also opportunistic carnivores as they wilt eat meat when it is available even hunting monkeys.. The actual breakdown of the amounts are that chimpanzee 98% plant based material and 2% meat. Bonabos (pygmy chips) have the same diet are bout the same but occasionally are cannibalistic

Answer 3

Chimpanzees,(Chimp for short) like their human counterparts, are natural omnivores.

Omnivores means that they eat meat and vegetative matter.

In the wild they will catch and kill colobus monkeys to eat, Like humans their diet is biased towards herbivorism (vegetative matter). with the occassional catch of meat.

NB As humans we eat TOO MUCH meat, and not enough vegetative matter.
