Gorilla eat monkey meat

DNA tests in the feces of wild gorillas provided evidence that gorillas were not vegetarian.

Like vegetarians (not for religious purposes) who still crave a hamburger from time to time, gorillas often eat grass, but sometimes they don't resist 'subconscious craving' for their near brother. close to me.

While some gorillas in the zoo are often eaten, it was previously thought that gorillas in nature only ate plants, fruits and some insects.

But in a recent DNA study it was found that remnants of small monkeys and primates in the feces of African mountain gorillas.

This finding suggests a possibility that gorilla may have a habit of eating meat.

However, before placing gorillas in the carnivorous group, many scientists also made some assumptions about the existence of DNA of monkeys and other animals in the gorilla's feces. It is hypothesized that when ants gorilla, which previously ants ate the remaining remains of monkeys or dead animals, they also unknowingly put these 'strange dishes' in the stomach, then excreted and 'discovered'. It is possible that the DNA fingerprints are just 'right-to-now love'.

Chimp and Monkey Bonobo

If gorilla is really a habit of eating meat, they are not the only non-vegetarian primate species. Chimpanzees and bonobos also have a 'history' of hunting and eating other animals, including monkeys.
