Mineral Acquisition from Clay by Budongo Forest Chimpanzees. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Chimpanzees of the Sonso community, Budongo Forest, Uganda were observed eating clay and drinking clay-water from waterholes. We show that clay, clay-rich water, and clay obtained with leaf sponges, provide a range of minerals in different concentrations.
