They chased her for awhile. But they gave up and left her alone. I saw the second part awhile ago. Hope this helps. She was flying thru trees with both babies. Never underestimate a mother when it comes to her children

[@cathaybrian9429]

Oh thank you for the update. I was wondering what transpired after the video had ended.

[@sherilewis9949]

No you are wrong the babies ended up getting killed and eaten by the other chimps

Like humans chimpanzees can be such violent monsters. I'm glad to know that the twins did survive.

[@steveyoung3245]

I think it's odd that small youtubers have no problem making great documents to watch on a subject, but but companies and corporations can only show you bits and pieces of a document they made.

[@WilliamFarge]

The male ape was the infamous Frodo.

[@readynow12345]

They have some huge teeth wow.

[@ROC14088]

I think Fiffy and Fanny may have felt threatened with 2 new females coming into the troop as their family would be the dominant family

[@silvarainbowsparkle]

Fiffy and Danny need to stop being sociopaths and back off. Imagine if every animal killed offspring just because they’re not the most popular anymore. That wouldn’t work for long..

[@mrj.kottari8453]

From the familiar-sounding names beginning with G I immediately knew this is the chimpanzee group/society Jane Goodall disvovered and studied back in the 1970s 😊

[@watchensee]

A lot of the names also start with F too.

What happened to Jane Goodall's video's

[@tavlingapa]

Frodo was born in the 1970's amidst the Gombe War. He also ate a human baby.

[@mitchellneuhoff9946]

And yet it’s strange that he turned out to be a better father than most human fathers he may have ate a human baby but he was very attentive to his own kid as shown through this photographic evidence.

[@tavlingapa]

@@mitchellneuhoff9946 He also killed one of his kids

[@jimmytwotimes802]

I would take a tour and get that close to gorillas, but these monkeys? No way! These guys are violent.

[@xa9590]

Did both of the twins make it?

[@TheBackyardPros]

Rizzzz

[@mico2020]

I was trying to draw similarities between this society and certain human societies where polygamy is practiced ... Usually in societies where the male can marry and have offspring out of more than one female, the females tend to compete over resources for their children and be very aggressive towards the children of the other women with whom they share the male, not to the point of wanting to kill the other babies of course but hostilities occurs nonetheless.

Well what happened?!

[@nobodyuknow6337]

Ca somebody PLEASE tell me where I can watch or buy the videos surrounding this generation of chimps? I've seen Chimps of Gombe which evolved around the early studies of Jane Goodall. Fifi's family was the main subject of the study, back when she was young. But I have seen only clips from videos of later generations. I haven't been able to find them, anywhere, as a whole. The same with videos on a lot of orphan orangutan videos. There are bits and pieces.

[@nobodyuknow6337]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[@Apaganplace]

he is the father .. FACT.. dna tests have been done and he is the father of titan and another few as well...

[@tonikersey9378]

Does the alpha male also father his mother's future children after he takes his place as alpha?

[@mico2020]

why are the female insisting on killing the twins? is it so that they gain the attention of the alpha male?

[@Dave-te5bs]

Maybe so there won’t be competition? These females want their babies to. Become future leaders and view the twins as a threat?

[@radovlasic12]

they named him freud? hahahaha wtf?

[@steelbre]

aa aa I believe Jane G. named him and the rest of his relatives with names beginning with the letter F.

[@jackstrawwichita571]

Ahh look at the beautiful Mother's... Are not Chimps just the sweetest things? Particularly when they try and kidnap and murder others new born children? Why that's just the sweetest thing I've ever seen..

[@winterweib]

Nice you survived their attack! Sadly, your missing brain will always be a huge problem for you. But the Chimp enjoyed it, though of course it was so tiny, nearly just a hazelnut, I was told. It did not mind them at all you came from an inc.estuo.us pair and got their syp.hi.lis. ☺

[@bamadeadhead]

Wth???

[@tone0711]

They do not, it is here watch?v=Rv7Oeq7FC5Y

[@hermanLeen]

"fathering offspring is what it's all about for the males". I wonder if they have a clou whether mating is related to making offspring? Can they make the connection between the act and the birth of a baby 9 months later?

[@PrimateProductions]

Herman Leenders yes they make the connection.

[@mosescodhex5150]

Most definitely, instinct is the driving force

[@jadezee6316]

of course they know....many animals kill the babies of other males when they take over.....

[@leadersuccess3761]

They ended up eating the twins and that's the truth I've seen this before.

[@Alejandro-vb2fx]

Good, I WANT TO SEE THAT VIDEO

[@donaldchavez2032]

Not true at all....fifi and fanny tried very hard to get gremlin to drop her babies so they could probably eat them ( it happens very rarely but it does happen with chimp infants) they gave up cause gremlin protected babies very strongly.......the twins golden and glitter are adults with babies of their own there fine as well as the mother gremlin .....frodo's the father died and fifi went missing with her 9th offspring they are both presumed dead....

You’re saying these are twins? I find that highly unlikely.

[@moonandstars4690]

FU hater!

[@missdolittle]

[@Relugus]

@eliteplague Just like in human society the Alpha male does whatever he wants and gets away with it. Depressing.

[@fredfred7222]

@Makrothymia Women are just as capable of inventing and building things if they have the opportunity. We are also very closely related to Bonobos - so we can be peaceful, communal and sharing too.

[@user-vr8ve6rt9c]

Shut up

[@MCshadr217]

People say it came down to being envious. I doubt that, this seems like they were more or less trying to separate the twins so that the load for raising them is shared, seeing as it can be difficult for a mother to raise two at the same time.

[@mamifanai4266]

Is this where the mother deliberately dropped her babies so that they could be eaten

[@im2cutesosueme121]

No, here's the rest of the story. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKeagJinbKt2a7s

[@MsRaconteur]

That's so fucked up. Go home.

[@debbiebrantley61]

I don’t care what anyone says,Frodo should’ve been put down after he killed the woman’s baby & ate some of it.No matter what u put down a animal that attacked & partially ate a human baby.Plus he was a damn bulky abyway,he beat up Jane Goodall a few times,what really bothers me is that they honored this beastvwhen it died.like he was a hero or something.
