Gorilla are pure herbivores, chimpanzees are predators which mostly eat plants, I don’t know about Bonobos, all that’s talked about them is their seed life, and homo varies from pure carnivore (in cold places, those with few edible plants) to scavenger to omnivore (especially in the tropics and places with fruit) depending on environment
Homo, of course, has been lying to itself about what food best sustains it, we can’t live happily on the excess grain we’ve been producing for the last 10k years
By far the most dangerous predator on Earth is humans, we eat each other, anything that moves, kill for fun, build machines to do it for us, design what we eat to be easier to kill, and have you dealt with women? We’re a scary bunch.
Are apes considered predators? I kind of thought they were just neither.

Right, because we had better stamina than predators, and then developed intelligent brains. But are apes?
Met any chimps? And about that stamina thing…

yeah. We’re scum. We’re just violent++.
It’s rare, but it’s not a myth.
