65% of the diet of [[orangutan]]s consists of fruit. Orangutans primarily eat fruit, along with young leaves, bark, flowers, honey, insects, and vines. One of their preferred foods is the fruit of the [[durian]] tree, which tastes somewhat like sweet custard. Orangutans discard the skin, eat the flesh, and spit out the seeds.{{Citation needed|date=May 2020}}
Other examples of mammalian frugivores include [[human]]s, [[fruit bat]]s, and the [[gray-bellied night monkey]], also known as the owl monkey:<ref name=":0">{{cite web|title=Owl monkey (''Aotus'') factsheet|url=http://pin.primate.wisc.edu/factsheets/entry/owl_monkey|author=Cawthon Lang|first=Kristina A.|date=July 18, 2005|publisher=[[University of Wisconsin-Madison|Wisconsin Primate Research Center]]|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190915192445/http://pin.primate.wisc.edu/factsheets/entry/owl_monkey|archive-date=September 15, 2019|access-date=October 28, 2008}}</ref>
<blockquote>"Owl monkeys are frugivores and supplement their diet with flowers, insects, nectar, and leaves (Wright 1989; 1994). They prefer small, ripe fruit when available and in order to find these, they forage in large-crown trees (larger than ten meters [32.8 ft]) (Wright 1986). Seasonal availability of fruit varies across environments. Aotus species in tropical forests eat more fruit throughout the year because it is more readily available compared to the dry forests where fruit is limited in the dry season and owl monkeys are more dependent on leaves."<ref name=":0" /></blockquote>
