[@seyamrahman1002]

@@darksector1389 didn’t really “become allies” more like dragged into fighting the same foe. Soviets were basically soloing their part of the war

[@___Truth___]

@@seyamrahman1002 Your wrong. America supported the Soviets through Lend-lease, giving the USSR some $180 Billion dollars of goods and supplies to fuel their war effort against the common enemy, far before America entered the War. In any practical sense that is an Ally.

I wished the other males didn't kill David but that same time, it was going to happen at some point when the females goes into "heat" or the correct term when it comes to mating in the animal kingdom. I also wonder what had happened to Kael after the death of David, I also wish for a update on Kael if he was okay or not. I hope Kael did manage to escape from the troop.

[@petermoody6147]

To: Sophia A Raghunanan - KL is still with this group. He now spends his time mostly with the older males and avoiding the younger ones. Regrettably, David died seven months after the filming had finished, in February 2018. That attack, again took place at night. The significance being, that David was likely to be on his own.

We see alpha male ( David ) 😅😅

[@mahranch841]

I don't think he was attacking that elderly female to "assert his power". There's a more likely reason, one grounded in biology: She wouldn't mate with him. When females Chimps get old, and can no longer have babies, their sex drive evaporates. Not only that but her "equipment" no longer works, so her private areas won't "accommodate" the male -- if the males try to mate anyways, it's extremely painful. Females can reject a males advance a couple times but there is a breaking point with these males. When they hit it, they start attacking the females, bullying them into submission. If the elderly female isn't giving in, it's just a matter of time until she suffers some kind of injury which can become fatal (broken infected bones, sepsis, clots, hemorrhaging, etc) And from the Chimp's perspective, this is a good thing. Elderly female chimps can't produce offspring anymore, so all the food she is eating/resources she's consuming is a bit of a waste if you ask me.

Indeed. A reproductive resource that has run out.
