 Chimpanzees are our closest relatives  
“These intelligent primates have a diverse menu that changes based on their habitat and the season. A significant portion of their diet consists of fruits and berries, which they prefer due to their high nutritional value and accessibility. They are particularly fond of figs, bananas, and mangoes when available.”
