| Chimpanzees are killing gorillas unprovoked for the first time: scientists |
| 2021-07-23 |
| h/t Instapundit [NYP] - Chimpanzees have been seen killing gorillas in unprovoked attacks for the first time, scientists said. ...In the first attack in December 2019, more than two dozen chimps went after five gorillas. ...While the adult gorillas were able to escape, the infant separated from its mother didn’t survive, the study said. Researchers said a similar attack occurred in February 2019 that also left an infant gorilla dead. But instead of the slain gorilla being left alone, the "infant in the second encounter was almost entirely consumed by one adult chimpanzee female," the study said. The researchers, who are from the Osnabruck University and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany, said the encounters were wildly different from how the two species typically interact with each other. While both species can be territorial and violent, fights happen almost exclusively within their own species. |

| #5 I'm pulling for the chimps. After all, they very well could have been the first Tree Huggers. |
