Time-lapse video from a camera trap set up in Taï National Park in the Ivory Coast in 2021. A chimpanzee dubbed Porthos stuffs his mouth with the plum-like fruit of the evergreen tree Parinari excelsa. Among chimps at Taï, this is the most popular food and has the highest alcohol content of all the fruit species sampled.
