Gabonese chimpanzees eat monkeys.

Description English / French:
"Analyses of the diet of our closest evolutionary cousins in the wild have shown that chimpanzees are largely omnivorous ; although most of their diet consists of fruit and other types of vegetation, they also consume insects and various vertebrates including birds and small mammals, and even monkeys of several species, such as Cercopithecus cephus and Cercopithecus nictitans. Remarkably, in 2019 researchers studying primates in Loango National Park in Gabon recorded two lethal attacks by chimpanzes on gorillas. Each attack resulted in the death of an infant gorilla, and in one of the cases the dead infant was partly eaten (including parts of hands and feet, viscera, brain) by chimpanzees present during the attack." (Jim Anderson, Professor Emeritus of Kyoto University)
-----------
"Les analyses du régime alimentaire de nos plus proches cousins évolutionnaires à l'état sauvage ont montré que les chimpanzés sont largement omnivores ; bien que la majeure partie de leur alimentation soit constituée de fruits et d'autres types de végétation, ils consomment également des insectes et divers vertébrés, notamment des oiseaux et des petits mammifères, et même des singes de plusieurs espèces, comme Cercopithecus cephus et Cercopithecus nictitans. Fait remarquable, en 2019, des chercheurs étudiant les primates dans le parc national de Loango au Gabon ont enregistré deux attaques mortelles de chimpanzés sur des gorilles. Chaque attaque a entraîné la mort d'un bébé gorille, et dans l'un des cas, le bébé mort a été partiellement mangé (notamment des parties de mains et de pieds, des viscères, du cerveau) par les chimpanzés présents lors de l'attaque." (Jim Anderson, professeur émérite de l'Université de Kyoto)

I once saw a documentary on chimpanzees where a troop of chimpanzees worked together as a collective organised group to hunt a monkey in a tree. It was as fascinating to see the intelligence of these animals to work together for an objective. It was also brutal and violent toward the monkey they were hunting, quite daunting.

Do chimps use wooden sticks to hunt??? Interesting footage as always

[@XHB06400CANNES]

🙏🙏🙏 *I appreciate the label you gave to my work.* Chimpanzees use wooden sticks to defend themselves from attack. Not to hit but rather as projectiles kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaqXpqKupt9litU kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaqXpqKupt9litU kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHe8mat5d5lraM0 They feel stronger when they hold a weapon as stick or vine. When hunting, they chase, circle and drop their prey (little monkeys) to the ground, killing them by biting or by being torn apart. They use a slender shrub with straight shoots, which is the ideal tool for hunting and eating aggressive army ants.

*In the area where my mirrors are placed, the main carnivore (except for poachers who avoid going there because of the presence of more than 70 trap cameras **kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHrShoBmi9OMpMk** ) is the leopard. It is a solitary animal that does not hunt in a troop. It avoids attacking solitary male elephants as well as families with children because of their power of reaction in case of attack. It avoids attacking a calf in a herd of forest buffalo because of their aggressiveness. It avoids attacking great apes (gorillas and chimpanzees) because of their cohesion and moreover it does not climb trees well and it avoids attacking mandrills because on the one hand they are in troops of 150 to 300 individuals which have very sharp teeth and climb trees very easily. . Moreover the flesh of these mammals is not very tasty except for the buffalo calf. The leopard appreciates small game such as small antelopes (blue duikers), porcupines and especially palm rats.* Thus there is a kind of statuquo between elephants, gorillas, chimpanzees, mandrills, buffaloes and leopards that avoid meeting each other, all the more so because in this forest, there is no competition for food, fruits and stems as marantaceae, being numerous in all seasons.

How do chimps kill their prey? Do they use their teeth? Do they batter? Or tear limbs?

[@XHB06400CANNES]

While the large size of the chimpanzee's canine teeth serves primarily to deter external threats by displaying them, it also allows them to break the skulls of small monkeys with relative ease and to eat the coveted brain for its nutritional value. It is often eaten first. Watch my 170 other homemade videos on the channel and don't forget to read the attached description each time. You will learn very important information. kzbin.infovideos

Chimpanzees usually kill their prey by biting off the head and pulling hard, trying to tear the body from the skull.

Well, I think that because of their size, they need proteins and maybe they eat another animal species like deers, pigs, etc. I have seen chimps chasing and hunting small monkeys in video. But I have never seen this behavior in other huge primates like orangutans and gorillas... I wonder if gorillas eat meat too...🤔 Saludos desde México!!!!

[@XHB06400CANNES]

The nutritional value of a carcass is not uniform and for example in mammals, while the muscles have a low fat content, the fat content is much higher in the brain and tripe. In the case of gorillas, it does not appear that they consume meat.

Remarkable footage. What I dont understand is A silverback gorilla can fend of several chimps easily, but he couldnt save his infants? This is interesting. I wonder why and how.

[@XHB06400CANNES]

In the first encounter, the silverback was present for 14/52 min, while in the second encounter, the silverback was present for 10/79 min); I was surprised by the silverback's cowardice because I thought that despite the overcrowding of the chimpanzees, it should have been present longer to try to help his females with their young. The researchers explain his attitude: *“Lastly, we cannot rule out that the presence of human observers, in both events, may have had an effect on the unhabituated silverback’s departure and may have tilted the imbalance of power in favour of the habituated chimpanzees.”*

And humans in Gabon hunt and eat their fellow primates, including chimpanzees and gorillas. Bushmeat hunting is a traditional practice, but use of firearms is more recent, as is the growth in human population. Likewise, the endangered status of the great apes has been brought about more recently by humans. Bushmeat is cheaper than farmed beef, and does not involve clearing the forest. But ir raises challenges for conservation and Co-existence.
