Most of you probably will think Japanese .........

BUT I am reading about that Monkey in Guyana  Wink

#2
Species like Saki monkeys can eat between 45 and 50 species of fruit every day,

often consuming their "five a day" in a hour of foraging..

As body size increases so does the preference for juicier foods.

#3
Small monkeys such as marmosets and tamarins eat more insects and less fruit.
<blockquote>"It is only the larger primates that are able to cope with the higher levels of toxins

                    that are typically found in leaves”</blockquote>

#4
The Saki monkey is a specie that can survive almost entirely on Fruit:

#5
Bigger species eat more leaves as their guts can handle toxins better
