Still Waters Posted November 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Chimpanzees do some pretty disgusting things. In their natural habitats, chimpanzees are known to pick up seeds from feces and re-ingest them. In captivity, some practice coprophagy: the deliberate ingestion of feces. These behaviors usually involve their own fecal matter, or that of their closest family members. If presented with feces and other bodily fluids from others, however, that's an entirely different story. https://phys.org/news/2017-11-grosses-chimpanzee.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
