Awful narration.. Get someone else

"Bonobos hunt down Colobus" sounds like an Italian Mafia Street war 😂😂

[@anthonygordon9483]

Its strange cause Bonobos arent known for being violent like other apes. They are the least violent. They aren't even hostile towards humans. As the lady mentioned they don't normally eat meat which means they could easily hunt rodents or other mammals but for some reason they are hostile towards these apes. Bonobos are extremely intelligent so its almost as if they know certain apes and mammals are hostile to their territory and some are not. They are able to pick out their threats rather then consider every mammal they see as a threat. They are extremely intelligent. Most Bonobos have been domesticated due to extiction, they are one of the few species that were able to readjust themselves to the wildlife after being domesticated by humans. They also picked up human gestures through their captivity as well. I would look them up, they are very fascinating apes.

[@stephenballard3759]

I want to know where everybody got this strange idea that hunting and intra-species violence are the same? Bonobos are very cool. But the fact that their sociality is less violent than chimpanzees has absolutely no bearing on whether or not they hunt other animals. Yeah , that would be like saying that hunter-gather or groups don't love their children as much as agriculturalists. War, dominance violence, inter-secific conpetition, and hunting are not at all the same things.

[@thenerdbeast7375]

That was very interesting! I never knew bonobos hunted! It certainly felt like a different affair than when chimpanzees hunt. When chimps hunt it is a male-only activity in which they dramatically chase down their quarry then the meat is primarily shared with between dominant males with subordinate males and females only getting scraps in exchange for favors with the top males. When bonobos hunt not only do the females join in, they show a lot more strategy with our female Zoey enacting a crucial part in the hunt distracting the large male monkeys. Afterward the meat was shared much more peacefully with Zoey even getting a well earned portion for her roll in the hunt!

[@arghmestealyourb000ty4]

Thats not exactly accurate for chimps. Females are less likely to hunt larger prey, but they still hunt. theyre also more likely to use tools to hunt than males. It also depends on the troop. In some troops the males will hunt and will give the higher ranking females meat without wanting any favors in return.

They’re still a thousand more times chill than Chimps. What, just because they eat meat all the sudden they’re bad? Guess what, many cutesy animals eat meat, even some that are labeled as herbivores. Giant Pandas despite having a 90% bamboo diet would still eat meat if the opportunity arises. Hippos has been considered more of omnivorous lately cause more and more has been spotted killing and eating prey, including their own kind. And honestly it shouldn’t even be a surprise. Bonobos are our closest living relatives, and we eat meat. They’re related to chimps too so really, why are you or anyone else even surprised? Just cause they eat meat doesn’t make them any more aggressive than they already were
