Very unlikely. Usually females, beside looking after children, every morning wander through the forest gathering tubers, fruits, mushrooms, nuts, leaves etc. Males are a little bit more lazy, go for hunting animals every 3-4 days only (when on a hunt with them, they only caught a small monkey with their bow and arrows), and do other works around the camp. They usually only eat twice or trice a day. And the most surprising to me, they all spend most of their day resting and with leisure activities. But no grazing. At least that's what I observed during 5 days with a group of Pygmies in the Congoan jungle.
