Most Brutal Chimpanzee Society Ever Discovered

I want to thank F.S. for posting this in the comments. This tells the epic story of an extraordinary troop of chimpanzees, as they brutally fought other colonies and each other to be the largest known to man.

    How would anyone like to run into a troop of 142 BF, these chimps show us how violent and cannibalistic BF most probably is…they thought “Ellington” was a homo hanging around “Hair”, so they murdered him..

      No…humans act this way, it’s not a ‘homo’ thing.
      Just highly intelligent mammals acting the way humans often behave.
      I don’t think it had to do with ‘differences’ just clans and daily interactions.

        In the documentary they mention that this troop had murdered dozens of their own and competing troop members.
        Homosexuality is actually very common in nature.
        I also did not feel they were inferring that.
        (“A homo”? How eloquent. )

      The average male chimp is 80 – 90 lbs. HUGE alpha males like “Frodo”, the latest and most violent chimp they ever studied, was 105.
      These animals are 7 times stronger than a human.
      With this in mind, what is the strength of a 600 – 900 lb. upright walking chimpanzee?

      Plus – how often does Wes say “they hunt in packs” and “if you only see one, how many more are there you don’t see?”.
      Really terrifying.

    I used to cringe when Michael Jackson was on TV with that chimp of his. These are dangerous animals in that, you just don’t know what they thinking. what they’ve planning, or might just decide to attack, for no reason at all. Really, I’d prefer a gorilla troupe to a chimp troupe.

    That friend of a friend in NJ that got her face ripped off a few years ago. Literally got her face ripped off, I believe it was a pet chimp, could have been a monkey or something similar.

      Hey Chris, You were correct, it was a “pet” chimp named ‘Travis’, who supposedly never showed aggressive tendencies. However, from what I recall, the two ladies were friends who had been lovers, and there had been some kind of strain on their relationship. Maybe Travis picked up on that. He hurt his owners friend, not his owner though. Scary.

        Okay – so much incorrect information.
        * The chimp involved, “Travis”, lived with his owner in Connecticut.
        * There were NUMEROUS incidents of the chimp being aggressive and uncontrollable, some that included police intervention.
        * There are NO confirmed reports of a lesbian relationship.
        * It is well documented that THE CHIMP AND HIS OWNER shared a bed.
        * The owner also regularly dosed the animal with human mood-altering prescription pharmaceuticals, which could have increased aggression, and she regularly gave the chimp alcohol.

          Sorry FS, I didn’t realize this is a test. The conflicting accounts, allegations are everywhere. For example, in one article I read the owner of Travis gave him human prescribed meds, then in another media interview she said she Never gave him any human meds. At any rate, sorry, if I misspoke. I did however read (in the past) that the two woman had formally been in a relationship.

      Psychological projection is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against their own unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others.[1] For example, a person who is habitually rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude. It incorporates blame shifting.

      According to some research, the projection of one’s unconscious qualities onto others is a common process in everyday life.[2]

    I saw the story about several men who drove into a chimp compound and the chimps had discovered how to get out of their cages and attacked the car that the men were riding in. I believe that only one man survived because when he picked up a large stick and swung it and hit the chimp who was charging him, it backed off and left him alone. The other men that tried to run away were attacked and had their genitals yanked off . One scary story.
