So What Do Monkeys Eat in the Wild? Generally, they do eat fruits, like figs, but also seeds, leaves, flowers, insects, and nuts. Gelada monkeys prefer to munch on grass and baboons even eat meat when they catch it such as young antelope, rabbits, and birds like guinea fowl. Personally, I'd prefer bananas.

Most monkeys are omnivores; they eat plant-based foods, such as fruits and nuts, as well as some meat, such as lizards and bird eggs.

What fruit do monkeys like?

Monkeys do enjoy bananas. A study from 1936 even offered monkeys fruits, vegetables, nuts, and bread to see what they would choose to eat more of. Bananas ranked right behind grapes; nuts and bread were last. “Of course monkeys and apes are not stupid and relish eating them once they are exposed to them,” Milton said.

Monkeys do eat fruits, but they wouldn't encounter bananas like we could get at the grocery store in the forest. They also eat leaves, flowers, nuts, and insects in the wild.
