Chimpanzees 'hunt using spears'
Chimpanzees in Senegal have been observed making and using wooden spears
to hunt other primates, according to a study in the journal Current
Biology.
Researchers documented 22 cases of chimps fashioning tools to jab at
smaller primates sheltering in cavities of hollow branches or tree
trunks.
The report's authors, Jill Pruetz and Paco Bertolani, said the finding
could have implications for human evolution.
Chimps had not been previously observed hunting other animals with
tools.
Pruetz and Bertolani made the discovery at their research site in
Fongoli, Senegal between March 2005 and July 2006.
"There were hints that this behavior might occur, but it was one time at
a different site," said Jill Pruetz, assistant professor of anthropology
at Iowa State University, US.
"While in Senegal for the spring semester, I saw about 13 different
hunting bouts. So it really is habitual."

Chimpanzees 'hunt using spears'
<snip story>
That's pretty interesting.
Although not about chimpanzees, this story made me remember a quote I saw
posted during a recent visit to the zoo:
"If you happen to forget a screwdriver in the gorilla cage, the animals will
hesitantly approach it, briefly sniff it, and subse-quently ignore it. Leave
it in a chimp cage, and it will be used in vigorous display, thrown about,
and forgotten. But if you leave it in the orangutan cage, one of the animals
will unob-trusively pick it up, hide it, and use it to let itself out when
you've left for the day."

Somebody better tell Dubya. Next the chimps will be developing WMDs.

Maybe just on the sharp end of a spear? He's pretty small and puny
compared to a full-grown chimp, and they have been known to be a bit
cannibalistic.

He's under qualified, but the chimps wouldn't care.

Chimpanzees 'hunt using spears'
Oy! I haven't learned how to defend myself against someone wielding a
banana, much less pointed sticks!
How many 16 ton weights we got?

We'll be fine as long as no one launches Charlton Heston into space on a
timelike trajectory.
It's too late!

Those chimps can be nasty. There was a gruesome news story last year about a
guy who was attacked and badly mutilated by those animals.

Chimpanzees 'hunt using spears'
Chimpanzees in Senegal have been observed making and using wooden spears
to hunt other primates, according to a study in the journal Current
Biology.
Researchers documented 22 cases of chimps fashioning tools to jab at
smaller primates sheltering in cavities of hollow branches or tree
trunks.
The report's authors, Jill Pruetz and Paco Bertolani, said the finding
could have implications for human evolution.
Chimps had not been previously observed hunting other animals with
tools.
Insects aren't animals? It's been known for awhile that chimps will
strip branches off a stick and use it as a dipping stick to pull
termites out of a log.
