A gummivore is an omnivorous animal whose diet consists primarily of the gums and saps of trees (about 90%) and insects for protein.[1] Notable gummivores include arboreal, terrestrial primates like certain marmosets and lemurs. These animals that live off of the injuries of trees live from about 8m off of the ground up to the canopies. The feeding habit of gummivores is gummivory.[2][a]
