What caught my eye is that, according to a scientist, its diet would be "similar to that of today's savannah chimpanzees", which makes me wonder whether these apes too hunted and ate other animals once in a while (not small animals and insects, but larger game, the same way savannah chimps are known to kill and eat baboons, for example).
