[[ended with a female chimp eating the dead gorilla Experts say the behavior may be due to a competition of food]]
Bull Crap- Chimps are KNOWN to hunt and eat other monkeys because they like to eat meat- not because they are starving-
I heard that the gorillas tried to impose a carbon tax, so the chimps ate them... so yeah, I guess it was because of global warming.
Exactly. Chimps are nasty, violent critters. They are meat-eaters whenever possible and will gladly engage in cannibalism of a weaker member of their own species.
Yep. So do others. Capuchins eat shellfish...
they will kill and eat their own...
Just because you never saw it happen before doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened before..
A few years back they caught a cow eating a baby chick on film...
Was that global warming too?
nonsense.
If I was a scientist I’d be packing my bags before the chimps realize I might be a food source.
When the chimps gang up and kill a fully grown silverback get back with me. Until then it’s much ado about nothing.
They especially attack colobus monkeys. Chimps can be really viscous animals, more so than gorillas.
