It depends on the species of monkey. The majority of monkeys are herbivores, eating mostly fruit and seed, however there are a few species such as the squirrel monkeys that eat fruit, seeds and insects making them omnivores.

No, they do not. Monkeys eat fruits from trees.

Monkeys do not exclusively eat fruits. They prefer to eat fruit when it is abundant and in season. But otherwise they feed on leaves using a method called wadging, to extract as much nutrients from the leaves.

YES. Not all monkeys live in grasslands and not all grasslands have monkeys, but there are certainly monkeys in grasslands. The African Savanna, for example, has baboons, which are a subset of monkeys.

Yes, monkeys are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and animals. Their diet can include fruits, nuts, seeds, insects, eggs, and occasionally small mammals.

Monkeys do not naturally eat fungi or mushrooms. They eat fruit and vegetables, they also eat some types of leaves and flowers.

Yes, they need the protein to lay down the colors of their feathers. Butterflies offer a high protein content minus the fat they would get from eating nuts and other protein rich foods.
