Chimp looks happy. Must've just had a banana. :p
Actually, I haven't done much reading on it, but I think what I read was that chimps do hunt (although I don't know how), and that meat (mostly other species of monkeys) makes up 3% of their diet. And I think chimps are the only species of the great apes to eat meat on a regular basis, but I'm not sure.
The second picture is a good illustration of what I said in my last post... a lot changed when humans picked up bows and arrows.
