@tonycanales @herbivore_club Can you site the study that Nat-Geo article sited, I do not have access to the full article. I found this study looking at something very similar, might be it The conclusion is not conclusive and gives different possibilities

@BarryCPearson @GoodTexture @SBakerMD not to my knowledge, they are difficult to observe in the wild, plenty of other apes have been. There is DNA evidence for it though. https://t.co/Xe8VvEl2xy I would be shocked if a Gorilla refused to eat a ribeye if yo
