A couple of years ago I saw a chimpanzee documentary on Discovery channel. In one scene filmed of the animals in the wild, a male chimp was angry, and possibly jealous as in this case, over the infant chimp that a female chimp held. He grabbed the infant chimp out of its mothers arms and ran up a tree. When the female gave chase, the male turned around and started beating the female with the infant. The male then went off to join a group of other males which proceeded to rip apart and devour the infant. I learned then that chimps are not so cute and cuddly.

It looks like a lot of us on this thread enjoy the Discovery Channel.

Something similar was in the video of chimps about Jane Goodall's work. It followed the story of Flo and her children. One of Flo's last kids was Flint. He was a spoiled brat and still insisted on nursing even after she had one more baby. He was very jealous of that infant. The infant disappeared. I don't know if they ever found it but they suspected he did it in. You should have seen how happy he was once he was the baby again. Flo was old and she died not so long after. Flint couldn't get over it and wouldn't eat after her death and died a few weeks later.
