Patsy Roberts, age 8t of Denver, Col„ for her question:

Are apes vegetarians?

The big apes rate as the most intelligent fellows of the animal kingdom, They have no tails, They love sunshine and enjoy comfort All of them love frosh fruit and vegetables, Most of them will eat an insect if one happens to pass by, But none: of them hunt and kilI for food;

Sometimes an ape will rob a bird's nest of eggs or even baby birds. But even the gorilla, biggest. of the apes' is mostly a vegetarian. All apes prefer the lazy way of gathering the fruit and nuts and tender buds that come to hand,
