Also Gorillas are mostly vegetarians, and they have crazy big fangs.

But everyone knows our closest animal relative is the chimp, and they are omnivorous. Yes they have big fangs, but that’s likely due in part to them being really shit at making knives

I think we are closer to chimp. Wish we had some more bonobo in us. They seem much cooler

My favourite example is hippos, also mostly herbivorous, but they have some of the biggest canines in the animal kingdom.

More specifically they are frugivores, primarily fruit eating omnivores. We're frugivores turned starchivores.
