Despite often being seen as vegetarians, primates have quite the penchant for killing. Baboons will prey on baby ungulates as well as large birds and smaller monkeys, capuchins will feed on small reptiles and mammals, and tarsiers are almost entirely carnivorous, preying on mostly insects while occasionally hunting small rodents and reptiles. However, chimpanzees take this to another level. Aside from humans, they (and possibly bonobos) are the only primates that takes relatively large mammals and do so in a coordinated fashion. However, they are more than capable of dispatching small prey on their own, as this baby monkey found out.

Was this baby monkey also a chimpanzee? Curious if chimps are cannibalistic...

[–]Mophandel💀[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Chimps are cannibals but in this case the baby monkey is indeed a monkey, so it’s not cannibalism in this instance.

Chimps are apes. Monkeys are not apes. Monkeys have tails. Apes don't have tails.

Had read before that chimpanzees are slightly insane. Never saw an example until here. Wow.


Well in this case, it isn’t insanity. This is just a chimp securing some lunch.

If only it was legal for humans to do.
