A good food supply may keep them in a feeding patch of about ten square kilometres for several weeks, as they browse on trees and shrubs, taking leaves, twigs, and any fruit in season. Records of their diet include over a hundred plant species from over forty families, though grasses, except for bamboo, do not seem attractive. Salt licks, visited once or twice a month, help to balance this herbivorous diet.
