However, the specific quote above is clearly outdated. As the information has begun to spread within the raw vegan community that ape diets include some animal foods, even if only a limited amount of insects, certain raw vegan advocates have reacted with brand- new rationalizations and claims, which we examine next. Similarly, the preference for eating the brain of the victim suggests a lack of lipids and possibly other components in the diet. The new claims cited above are interesting. Let's now examine the above claims.
Similar results come from earlier research.
The situation is somewhat different for lowland gorillas. Lowland gorillas are known to more heavily consume social insects. The result is that despite higher insect density in the lowland gorilla habitat, inadvertent insect consumption by lowland gorillas is less than that for mountain gorillas. They then conclude that deliberate insectivory is necessary for lowland gorillas. The mountain gorilla is a folivore and consumes little fruit.
