Researchers at the Rock of Gibraltar have documented macaques increasingly eating soil, a behaviour that may help the monkeys avoid stomach upset from consuming human snacks like chocolate, crisps and ice cream provided by tourists. The study found soil-eating was more common in monkey groups that consumed more tourist food, which is high in sugar, fat and dairy but low in fibre. The researchers propose that soil acts as a natural antacid to buffer negative effects of human food on the macaques' digestive systems.
Research from Cambridge University reveals that Gibraltar's macaque monkeys have learned to eat soil to counteract digestive issues caused by junk food stolen from or offered by tourists. Scientists observed 46 dirt-eating events across 98 observation days, noting that the behaviour increases during peak holiday season. The soil acts as a protective barrier in the digestive tract and provides beneficial bacteria, while the monkeys' natural diet consists of herbs, leaves, seeds and insects.
