You're absolutely right. The majority of foods Budongo chimpanzees eat have anti-bacterial properties: 1. B. papyrifera [1] 2. Ficus sur [2] 3. Ficus mucuso [3] 4. Ficus exasperata [4] The medicinal aspect of this article is not that interesting but the fact that the chimpanzees seek out these alternative sources of food when injured or sick is interesting. I would like to see further research into how they learn to seek out these plants and the results of consuming them.
