Most monkeys are omnivores, eating both plants and animals
A recent study has shown that monkeys tend to be more successful when they are omnivores, as opposed to those that are herbivores. The study found that monkeys who are omnivores are able to live in a wider range of habitats and consume a greater variety of food items. This allows them to better adapt to their environment and survive in times of scarce food resources.
It is believed that the study’s findings can be applied to other animals, including humans. Omnivores have a greater chance of survival than those that are specialized eaters. This is due to the fact that omnivores can survive on a variety of food sources, while specialized eaters are limited to a specific type of food.
