They feed mainly on fruit, but will also eat leaves and other such foods. They also occasionly feed on meat, such as young goats or baboons. They also eat small insects, and have been known to poke sticks into termite mounds, then take them out and feed on the insects they have captured. Chimpanzees can defend themselves against predators by throwing sticks or stones at them. They live together in troops of around 30 chimps.
