For years, two sets of chimpanzees lived as one in Uganda’s Kibale National Park — grooming, interacting and patrolling their territory in a cohesive community.
Then suddenly, one set charged the other, touching off yearslong bloodshed that researchers are comparing to a human civil war.
“It was just chaos,” said John Mitani, a professor emeritus in anthropology at the University of Michigan who had been following the chimpanzees for two decades when the violence began in 2015. “They started to scream, shout, chase each other.”
For three years after the outbreak, Mitani and his collaborator, Aaron Sandel, an associate professor of anthropology at the University of Texas, documented the collapsing social bonds between the sets of chimps. By 2018, Mitani said, the two subgroups — known as Western and Central Ngogo chimpanzees — had “stopped using the same territory, and they started to behave aggressively and started to kill.”

If they live in a park safe from poachers, maybe they are overpopulated their sanctuary…?
Overpopulation is a reasonable theory.
A literal Chimp Out.
Monkey business. It’s either climate change causing the problem, or they’re arguing over gender change.
Monkeys seem to believe in genital mutilation and gender change. Just like Muslims and Democrats.
Yep, chimps are nasty. There was a woman who raised a chimp from shortly after he was born. She finally had to surrender him to a wildlife sanctuary. When she and a friend went to visit him, he tore the face off one of them and bit the other nearly to death. Baboons and mandrills are nasty too.
Is chimpanzee code word for something else?
“Infants torn from mothers, testicles ripped off”
Sounds more like “Gender Affirmation” doctors.
“They started to scream, shout, chase each other.”
Airports. Drive-in food joints. Convenience stores.
That woman who had her face ripped off by a rampaging chimp knows how dangerous they can be.
Was this Daytona, south beach, or Texas?
Poor little guys. Fighting is reallly hard on them.
Hope they survive and thrive.
Waffle House. Chuck E. Cheese. McDonalds. Princess Cruises.
Did they tear of each others' weaves?
👍👏
From out of the mist was heard...
“But, But auntie Jane said they were good monkeys better then people.....”
🙊🙉🙈
“They’re terrifying animals. Rape, murder, abduction, castration, disfigurement etc are all part and parcel of even vaguely hostile interactions for them.”
That describes the liberal Democrats of Portland. Come to think of it, it also describes a good part of the Middle East.
