Poor David. When I worked with Java macaques, the second in command tried to take the leader. In the ensuing fight, his spinal cord was severed. He could only feebly move his arms and head. Luckily the site manager agreed that we couldn’t watch him suffer so he was sedated and put down. It was very sad but you could see him plotting for months. Unfortunately for him the leader was well liked by both females and younger males and had allies among the oldest males. There had been a relatively peaceful transfer of power to him and he was firm but chill, especially with babies.

@@Kaikaifilu1994 I used to work in a primate research facility outside Miami. It had two wild populations, one was Javas. The other is a mix of new world monkeys. By wild, they’re contained in 10 acre compounds and are accustomed to humans but not domesticated or tame by any stretch. It’s a research project on behavior. I worked both compounds as the dietician, making sure they had appropriate food sources. I also did population censuses biannually focusing on infant birth and mortality rates.

I'm sure they've got some armed guides. Chimps are smart. Even in an enraged state, they'd pick up after one of them is shot, that the gun is what caused the wound. And the loud sound alone would probably be enough to ward them off. Still would be nerve racking though

I wonder why these people always go for Chimps instead of their more chill cousins, the bonobos who look similar to chimps and are just as intelligent, if not more. You rarely see bonobos behave violently....and I couldn't see them getting into a lethal battle over a female because they all just have sex with each other and chill.

[@abbydabby9112]

[@ZennExile]

Is that what you see? Or did many strong adult males, worthy of breeding, see an opportunity to destroy the only obstacle between them and the transmission of their genetic material to a next generation? And it was many females in simultaneous estrous. Not just one. David was preventing all those other males from breeding. Not just casually banging a loose piece. David was a psychopath denying his own troop the single imperative impulse any of them have. To breed. There's a lesson here. And it isn't about feeling sorry for David.

Sadly ignorance has prevailed and horrific consequences are to be had so people can have their “exotic” pets. Pets that they know NOTHING about and the trauma and tragedy has happened many times before. Look up Travis the chimp and it’s a perfect example why people shouldn’t have the most unpredictable, violent, greedy, aggressive, irrational, and all around assholes! They give other great apes a bad name. Chimps are vial creatures. Fascinating and frustrating to watch all at the same time.

David actually ends up living and takes a 2 week trek back to the group while injured and overthrows Luther and wins back his Alpha. David was one of the badest chimpz alive. Another thing to note, the Alphas of these chimpz don't generally reign for very long, usually not more then a year, which when you compare to the Gombe chimpz, isn't long at all. I think these chimps are all badasses

David died because he tried to control ALL the booty. There's a lesson here, but it's not about how poor David was. If David didn't take everything for himself, just because he could, then he'd still be alive. It's a very important lesson in psychopathy.
