| Bonobos Hunt And Eat Other Primates Too |
| 2008-10-16 |
| Unlike the male-dominated societies of their chimpanzee relatives, bonobo society-in which females enjoy a higher social status than males-has a "make-love-not-war" kind of image. While chimpanzee males frequently band together to hunt and kill monkeys, the more peaceful bonobos were believed to restrict what meat they do eat to forest antelopes, squirrels, and rodents. Not so, according to a study, reported in Current Biology, a Cell Press publication, that offers the first direct evidence of wild bonobos hunting and eating the young of other primate species. |

| #4 Gotta watch out for those PW males. They're the most dangerous when out in packs. Hands down WD 40 Bonobos on are the worstus! Especially after they added WD to their Cagun Hot Sauce.... |
