Monkeys eat bananas, right?

And, if knowledge of apes so far north seems strange, consider that the Hobbits knew about Oliphaunts.

Actually, Orcs probably used far less pleasant things than _ape_ and _swine_ in their insults...

But Orcs and Trolls spoke as they would, without love of words or things; and their language was actually more degraded and filthy than I have shown it I do not suppose that any will wish for a closer rendering, though models are easy to find.
