Ecuador: Monkey Meat staple of diet for Huaorani people

dailymail.co.uk REPORTED There are no fast food restaurants or grocery stores in the rainforests of eastern Ecuador, so if the Huaorani people want to eat they go out with a blowpipe and shoot a monkey.

They are experts at shinning up trees and lying in wait for the primates, which they kill with poisoned darts fired from blowpipes.

There are less than 4,000 people in the Huaorani tribe and the small gene pool, along with the constant tree-climbing has led to them developing very flat feet, many of which have six toes. Some also have six fingers.

Monkey meat is a staple of their diet, which also includes peccary pigs and toucans aswell as plants and herbs foraged in the forest by the women. Read Article
