Do great apes eat meat?

Yes, great apes do eat meat, but it is not a significant part of their diet. While some species, such as chimpanzees and bonobos, are known to hunt and consume small mammals and birds, the majority of their diet consists of fruits, leaves, and other plant materials. Gorillas, on the other hand, are almost exclusively herbivorous, with only occasional reports of them eating small insects or other animals. Overall, great apes have a varied diet that includes some amount of meat, but it is not a major part of their nutritional needs.
