What does a monkey eat other than banana?

Monkeys are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and animals. While bananas are a popular food for some monkeys, their diet is much more diverse. Here are some things monkeys eat besides bananas:

Fruits:

* Other fruits: Apples, oranges, mangoes, berries, figs, grapes, melons

* Seeds: Nuts, seeds, pods

* Flowers: Blossoms, petals

Vegetables:

* Leaves: From various trees and plants

* Shoots: Young stems and leaves

* Roots: Underground plant parts

Animals:

* Insects: Caterpillars, ants, beetles, grasshoppers

* Small animals: Lizards, frogs, birds, eggs

* Larger prey: (For some larger monkey species) Small mammals, birds

Other:

* Sap: Sweet liquid from trees

* Gum: Sticky resin from trees

* Clay: To aid digestion and supplement their diet with minerals

The specific diet of a monkey will vary depending on the species, habitat, and availability of food. Some monkeys are mainly frugivores (fruit-eaters), while others are more omnivorous.
